My nephew who was seventeen years old at the time of the alleged offence has been accused of murder. The prosecution is seeking to try him as an adult. What is the legal test under the Juvenile Justice Act for determining whether a juvenile accused of a heinous offence should be tried as an adult in Chennai?
