The Delhi High Court today reserved its order on the release of the juvenile convict in the Nirbhaya gang rape case of December 2012. The court's decision came after the Union Government asked the Court to extend the observation home stay of the juvenile convict who is scheduled to be released on Sunday. <br/><br/>On BJP leader Subramanian Swamy's plea seeking stay on the juvenile's release, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain appearing for the Centre sought the extension of juvenile's stay till the time all the missing aspects in the post-release plan are taken into account. The ASG told the court that the Centre has several concerns regarding the plan made by the management committee , set up as per the Juvenile Justice Rules. He said the plan does not mention the mental health status of the juvenile, which is a mandatory requirement under the rules. Further no follow-up action has been contemplated in the Committee's report.<br/><br/>The court, thereafter, said it now shall go through the Management Committee's plan and the Intelligence Bureau's report and will pass an order.
