Article 45 of Juveniles Law

In misdemeanours and offences of grievous harm and harm resulting in disability committed by a juvenile and punishable by imprisonment not exceeding ten years, the victim may pardon the juvenile or reconcile with the juvenile before or after judgment is rendered. If the victim wishes to reconcile with or pardon a juvenile sentenced to imprisonment or placement in a social institution, after the final judgment convicting the juvenile has been rendered, the victim may submit an application to that effect to the court that rendered the judgment for consideration in accordance with the preceding paragraph. In all cases, acceptance of reconciliation or pardon shall have the effects of a judgment of acquittal, and the juvenile shall be released immediately.
