4. The nature of the allegation does not inspire this Court to invoke Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.

5. Therefore, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned order.

6. It is submitted by the learned Advocate for the petitioner that the trial of the case is going on.

7. Since the petitioner is in an Observation Home as of 17.06.2023, this Court directs the conclusion of the trial of the case expeditiously and preferably within 6 months from the date of communication of this order.
