' SH. RIAZ AHMAD, C.J.---Leave to appeal is sought against the judgment, dated 28-5-2002 passed in Criminal Revision No,463 of 2002 whereby a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court dismissed Criminal Revision filed by the petitioner.
2. Facts giving rise to this case are that the petitioner is an accusedin the case F.I.R. No, 322 registered on 27-8-2000 under sections 302/109/34, P.P.C. The petitioner filed an application praying for separation of his trial and sending the same to the Court constituted under the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance, 2000 claiming himself as a minor. The learned trial Court held that the petitioner is minor and ordered for separation of his trial.
3. The complainant filed Criminal Revision No,59 of 2000 before the Lahore High Court which was allowed and the order, dated 12-11-2001 was set aside with the direction to get the opinion of Medical Board to determine the age of the petitioner. The Medical Board vide its report, dated 19-3- 2002 held that the petitioner was of 20 years of age at the time of medical examination, therefore, in pursuance of the report of Medical Board the trial Court held that there is no need to conduct separate proceedings for the petitioner. The petitioner assailed the above order before the High Court in Civil Revision No,463 of 2002 which is impugned before this Court.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the petitioner was less than 18 years of age at the time of occurrence according to the birth certificate produced by the petitioner.
He further stated that the trial Court had placed explicit reliance on the ossification test report and has totally ignored, the documents i.e, Birth Certificate and School Leaving Certificate.
5. In view of the matter we are of the opinion that the High Court has rightly dismissed the revision petition and no interference is called for by this Court. The petition is dismissed. Leave declined.
