Dear Sir,
A Minor Boy, Age of 17 has committed offence of a pornography. This matter is pending before the Court and I would like to know that Minor can be punished as per Information Technology Act or not ? Interpretation in I.T Act there is a penalty for the offence of pornography but in this case the boy was under 18 and this case is in Juvenile Court. This boy has having bright career in study and he has got Engineering Degree with 85% of Marks. He has got admission in USA, due to bright career and he is getting scholarship from the University. He has got student visa for 5 years and now he has approach the court to get the permission to leave India for further study. If the boy is accepting his mistake then what can be the punishment under Juvenile Act for the offence of pornography under I.T Act
