Despite there being a difference between the Delhi Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Rules, 2009 and the Model Rules, the Court directed authorities to follow the State rules. It determined that though State rules gave a different priority to documents produced in evidence of the age of an accused, and different courts followed different procedures, such did not render them unjustified. Further, unless the Rules were shown to be contrary to Article 14 of the Constitution of India, arbitrary or unreasonable, a court could not “sit in judgment over [Parliament’s] wisdom”.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Ashwini Kumar Saxena v.
