Pune Police are planning to approach the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court`s decision to release the 17-year-old teenager involved in the Pune car crash that happened in May, a top official said on Monday. The High Court ordered the boy`s immediate release on June 25, ruling that the Juvenile Justice Board`s (JJB) decision to confine him to an observation home was unlawful and that juvenile statutes must be completely applied, reported PTI.
Reportedly, the adolescent, who was granted bail hours after the Pune car crash on May 19, was sent to an observation home in Pune three days later due to a public uproar. Following the High Court`s order, he was discharged and placed in the care of his paternal aunt.
