The purpose of juvenile justice act is to look the offence made by juveniles according to there mentality.There is the question of the future of juvenile before the board .So to the unhabitual juvenile offenders,the board do not punish .Also there is not any clause for punishment in juvenile justice act .In your case,it is murder without intetion. so no chance of any Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration .There is not any clause of financial punishment to the juvenile .
