The Supreme Court of India, in a groundbreaking judgment, described itself as a “search engine of truth,” emphasizing its duty to uncover facts using procedural and substantive laws. Addressing a 1994 case involving juvenility claims, the Court highlighted judicial failures and societal responsibility toward children in conflict with the law. The appellant, initially sentenced to death, was finally granted relief with directions for rehabilitation and reintegration into society, showcasing the judiciary’s commitment to truth and justice.
