Pune Porsche accident: Juvenile Justice Board will decide whether teenaged accused should be tried as adult, says a lawyer.

The juvenile justice board will determine whether or not the youngster who ran over two people with his high-end race vehicle earlier this week deserves to face adult charges, according to the accused’s attorney.

Prashant Patil, the accused’s attorney, addressed the media in this location on Wednesday and stated, “There are procedures under the Juvenile Justice Act to determine whether the accused Child in Conflict with Law (CCL) be considered a minor or an adult.” This process takes about ninety days to complete.

“To be treated as an adult, investigating agencies must file a charge sheet for a juvenile or CCL within 30 days of the arrest. A two-month process that involves psychiatric and social evaluations as well as a de-addiction test ensues once the charge sheet is submitted, he added.

According to the lawyer, the individual doesn’t need to remain in rehabilitation for these procedures, as the investigation is carried out further. Patil said that the Juvenile Justice Board monitors the assessments through regular reports and complaints reports and decides after nearly 90 days whether to treat the minor or CCL as an adult.

He went on, “The Juvenile Justice Board has directed that the Child in Conflict with Law (CCL) be kept in a rehabilitation home for 14 days, until June 5, in response to the investigation agencies’ requests to modify the bail that was issued.

We have rejected the application on the grounds of legal and scholarly objections. Both parties engaged in discussions and arguments in court, he added, quoting the Supreme Court and the Bombay High Court.

Patil went on to say that CCL’s rehabilitation throughout the 15-day remand term is subject to guidelines established by the Juvenile Justice Board. As soon as the formal order is received, all of these specifics will be sent.

The 17-year-old suspect who is suspected of running down a motorcyclist and a pillion rider in his Porsche during the early hours of May 19 had his bail revoked by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on Wednesday night. The defendant spent 14 days in a detention house before being released on June 5.

Amitesh Kumar, the Commissioner of Police in Pune, stated that the juvenile had been placed in a detention facility and that a review application had been submitted to the Juvenile Justice Board to allow the juvenile to be handled as an adult in the case. The two IT specialists who perished in the incident were Madhya Pradesh-born Ashwini Koshta and Aneesh Awadhia.
