Section 34:
Procedure in case of commission of offence by child and determination of age by Special Court.
(1) Where any offence under this Act is committed by a child, such child shall be dealt with
under the provisions of 1[the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (2 of 2016)].
(2) If any question arises in any proceeding before the Special Court whether a person is a child or
not, such question shall be determined by the Special Court after satisfying itself about the age of such
person and it shall record in writing its reasons for such determination.
(3) No order made by the Special Court shall be deemed to be invalid merely by any subsequent proof
that the age of a personas determined by it under sub-section (2) was not the correct age of that person.
