Section 7 was charged with determining that he was 17 years of age at the time of his arrest, after the trial court relied on his birth certificate and educational record, sections 4 and 5 of the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance 2000. What was allowed under the petitioner (applicant) was that the Medical Board constituted by the trial court has ruled that his age was between 19 and 20 years, depending on the greasiness of the bone and the physical appearance of the accused, And the accused presented a fake birth certificate and educational record to the litigation. The accused had submitted a fake birth certificate as no record of his release was available with the concerned department. In such cases, the only way to determine the age of the accused was through medical evidence, the medical board said. Age is between 19 and 20 years and his age was not less than 18 at the time of commission of the crime. The plaintiff's appearance revealed that he was not less than 20 years. The affidavit of the trial court is not sustainable in the eyes of the law. And so it was allowed to apply for review
