Under present juvenile justice law, he may get a maximum three-year sentence, but he could be free within a few months.
The juvenile justice law says, an accused who has turned 18 cannot be sent to jail since the law does not allow those tried under the Juvenile Justice Act to be kept in a jail meant for adults.
Moreover, if he is held guilty after turning 18, he cannot be kept in a correction home for boys.
