+ &8,"      In the instant case, there is ample material on record to indicate that applicant/juvenile had fallen in bad company. There is no parental control. As pointed out by the Ld. Addl.PP for the State, present juvenile was also accompanying other co4accused, who committed gruesome and brutal murder of two young boys namely Daman and Dilpreet who had intervened to pacify the matter. As per the case of the prosecution, co4accused Aman Tak had inflicted deadly knife blows upon deceased Daman and Dilpreet, which cause their death. The present petitioner, who was also present along with co4accused Akash and Aman Tak had never stopped them from committing such a heinous crime, rather acted as cohort of teh main assailant, resulting in to death of two young boys and that too on petty issue. At this juncture, Ld.

counsel for the juvenile has strenuously urged that it is a case of grave and sudden provocation and in the heat of moment, co4accused Aman Tak inflicted knife blows upon the deceased Daman and Dilpreet, whereas present petitioner has no role in the alleged commission of crime.
