The teenager was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) with a condition to write a 300-word essay, sparking public outrage. Subsequently, the police requested a review, and the JJB remanded the boy to an observation home. Authorities are working to have the minor tried as an adult.
The High Court bench stated that the Juvenile Justice Board's (JJB) remand orders were unlawful and lacked proper jurisdiction. The court ordered the accused to be in the care and custody of his paternal aunt, citing that the Child in Conflict with Law (CCL) shall be under her care.
Police investigations revealed that the teenager was drunk at the time of the accident, with CCTV footage showing him drinking at a pub before the incident. The police also arrested his father, Vishal Agarwal, for 'exposing a child to danger', and the owners and employees of two bars for serving alcohol to a minor.
The High Court emphasized that the accused's age needs to be considered, given that he is under 18 years old. The court noted that the accused is already undergoing rehabilitation, which is the primary objective, and that he is currently under the care of a psychologist.
The order was passed in a plea filed by the 17-year-old boy's paternal aunt, who claimed he was illegally detained and sought his immediate release.
