In Pradeep Kori @ Pradeep Harijan (Minor) v. State of U.P., the Allahabad High Court held that ossification (bone age) tests are not required when valid documentary evidence establishes juvenility. The accused relied on his High School certificate showing he was below 16, while another school record showed a minor discrepancy, yet still indicated he was a minor. The Court interpreted Section 94 of the Juvenile Justice Act and emphasized that documentary evidence must be given primacy, and medical tests can be ordered only in the absence of such documents. It held that the Juvenile Justice Board and appellate court acted illegally in directing ossification testing despite available records. Reaffirming that medical tests are only approximate, the Court set aside the orders, declared the accused a juvenile, and granted bail, reinforcing the principle that law favors juvenility in case of doubt.
