In Karan @ Fateya v. State of M.P., 2023 INSC 197, a three Judge Bench of the Supreme Court held that:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
A claim of juvenility may be raised at any stage, including before the Supreme Court and even after the case has been finally disposed of. Karan @ Fatiya also explains that later recognition of juvenility does not automatically invalidate the conviction: the sentencing consequences must comply with the Juvenile Justice Act. In that case, the Court upheld the conviction but set aside the sentence. Both propositions about raising the claim and preserving the conviction are therefore correct.
