In a significant decision, the Bombay High Court has granted bail to a teenager involved in the Porsche accident in Pune. The court stated, “We allow the petition and order his release. The CCL (Child in Conflict with Law) shall be in the care and custody of the petitioner (paternal aunt).”
The case has drawn considerable attention due to the circumstances surrounding the incident and the age of the accused. The teenager was initially remanded by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), but the High Court found flaws in the process. The court bench highlighted that the JJB’s remand orders were illegal and passed without jurisdiction.
The decision to release the teenager into the custody of his paternal aunt reflects the court’s consideration of the young age and future welfare of the accused. This ruling underscores the importance of adhering to proper legal procedures, especially in cases involving minors.
This case serves as a reminder of the need for vigilant judicial oversight and the protection of children’s rights within the legal system. The High Court’s intervention ensures that the teenager will receive appropriate care while the legal proceedings continue.
