The Juvenile Justice Board is expected to hear on Thursday arguments for framing charges against the sixth accused, who has been declared a minor, in the December 16 Delhi gang-rape case. 

According to reports, the Delhi Police, which is investigating the case, had filed a supplementary chargesheet against the minor during the last hearing in the case. 

The sixth accused, who was declared a minor by the Juvenile Justice Board after verifying his age, can be given a maximum punishment of three years in a reformatory for his role in the case. 

The trial of the other five main accused in the case began last week when the Delhi Police filed a supplementary chargesheet which included the post-mortem and forensic reports.
