Summary:
On June 12, the judge ordered the J&K government to constitute a medical board and conduct the ossification test. The Jammu & Kashmir government had objected to his claim and had requested the trial court to order his medical examination and determine his exact age. The trial of the case began in Pathankot on May 31. Rejecting the plea, the judge held that since the issue was decided on the medical board’s opinion, there was no need for more verification. The board concluded that his age could be 20-21 years..
