WELCOME TO PANIPAT
Panipat founded by Pandavas, is a historical city of three famous battles fought between Ibrahim Lodi and
Babar in 1526, second between Akbar and Hom Chander Vikramaditya (a Hindu King of North India),
1556 and third between an Afghan, Ahmadshah Abdali and Marathas. So, a monument, Kala Amb, which
is live spectator of these battles, is worth watching. Hemu Samadhi Sthal at village Santhapur is
additional evidence of its authenticity. Panipat is also recognized as an important Industrial town
throughout the world for its textile, carpets and export business of about Rs. 20 crore per day. Indian
pickles Pachranga also has international recognition. The changing scenario of world opportunity and
development is manifested by the presence of public sector projects as IOCL Renery, National
Fertilizers Limited and Thermal Power Plant in the city outskirts.

MOOT PROBLEM
On August 21, 2014 the appellants, David as the rst appellant and Ujwal Purohit as the
second appellant, approached the Supreme Court and an order was sought inter alia, Suspension of the
punishment of the convicts and remand back the case to the Juvenile Board.
Brief history of the case is that David is a 17 years old boy who is an orphan being brought up at Bosconet
Eureka, A government Funded Orphanage in the vicinity of District Guradom, Waldhiem State, in the
Republic of Eureka. Albeit the Bosconet Eureka was controlled and administered by the government of
Eureka but it was maintained by Mr. K. Raju. David was very stoic and introvert kind of child since he was
an orphan and was brought up at an orphanage where he has never been found in the company of
studious orphans.
On March 13, 2014, when only David and Ujwal Purohit, 15 years old son of Mr. K. Raju were there in the
Bosconet Eureka with security guards only, they planned to visit an exhibition organized by some NGO in
nearby village. Since the Warden and other authorities were not physically present at the Bosconet
Eureka and couldn't have been contacted, the security guard refused them to go outside. Ujwal Purohit
being very shrewd and crook, persuaded David to come along and climb the wall of Bosconet Eureka and
accompanies him for the exhibition. Both without coming into the notice of the security guard climbed the
wall and ran away.
In the exhibition Ujwal Purohit had a quibble with a child of his peer named Mohan (son of a well known
businessman) as both of them wanted to buy the same toy gun. When the quibble turned into a quarrel
and eventually into a ght, David accompanied Ujwal Purohit and took an iron rod and aggressively strike
it on the head of Mohan, resulting which boy got fainted
Ujwal Purohit understanding the circumstances ed from that place immediately but David was caught by
the public as he kept standing there. He was thereafter given to the police and police arrested him under
the charge of murder and Mohan was taken to a nearby Civil Hospital. After two days Mohan succumbed
to head injury. Ujwal Purohit was also arrested after three days of the death of Mohan from the same Child
Care Home. Medical evidence was given that Mohan received head injury along with permanent
dislocation of jaw and the head injury was sufcient enough to cause death of a person of that age, i.e.; 18
years in ordinary course of nature.
On 08 June, 2014 the Juvenile Board found David to be well aware of the circumstances and
consequences of his act and therefore commit his case to Sessions Court nding him capax of
committing an offence. Both of them were tried separately U/s 304/326 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code,
1860 (hereinafter referred to as IPC) i.e.; David was tried by Sessions Court, Guradom and Ujwal Purohit
was tried by Juvenile Board, Guradom.
David submitted to the court that the Court has no jurisdiction to try the case, David being Juvenile and his
case should be remanded back to Juvenile Board but his submission was rejected due to insufciency of
the evidence of age.
Juvenile Board, Guradom on 30 July, 2014 found Ujwal Purohit guilty U/s 304/326 read with 34
of the IPC, 1860 and directed him to be sent to Special Home for a maximum period of
one and half years.

GIL 6th National Moot Court Competition 2016

Later on that day an appeal seeking suspension of the sentence was preferred in the Court of Session
against the judgement and order passed by Juvenile Board Committee. Session Court dismissed the
appeal on the ground that appeal was not maintainable as the Juvenile Board had already proved the
gravity of the case beyond reasonable doubts based on circumstantial and medical evidence and no
other question of law was raised by the appellant in the said appeal.
A petition under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was led in the High Court by
David seeking remanding back of the case to the Juvenile board since Juvenile board had erred to
decide the case due to insufciency of evidence and Sessions Court had been causing the abuse of
process of Law as it has no jurisdiction to try the case, accused being a minor. Another petition was
led by Ujwal Purohit for Review of the order of the Court of Session Court. High court dismissed both
the petitions; on the ground of convict being capax of committing the offence and that the conduct of
the accused reects intention to commit the crime in case of David and on the ground that petition
lack merits in the case of Ujwal Purohit.
Both have now led an appeal in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Eureka against the orders of the High
Court. Supreme Court has now clubbed both the appeals and has decided to hear the same.
Argue the case from both the sides, i.e.; Appellant and Respondents with a title of David and Anr.
versus State of Waldhiem, David as appellant No.1 and Ujjwal Purohit as Appellant No.2.
Issues before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Eureka are as follows:
1. Whether the case of the appellant no.1 is liable to be remanded back to the Juvenile Board
Committee or not?
2. Whether the punishment of the appellant no.2 be suspended or not?
*teams have however liberty to frame and argue on further issues.
** The Legislations having the force of Law in the territories of Union of India shall be considered the
same as the Laws in force in The Republic of Eureka.
