Pune Porsche accident: Bombay High Court overlooks 'see accused's action and not age' public outcry

The Bombay High Court ordered the release of a juvenile accused in the Pune Porsche car accident case, emphasizing the need to treat the accused according to the Juvenile Justice Act rather than his actions. Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande asserted that every child in conflict with the law must receive the same treatment under the Act, which aims to ensure children are dealt with separately from adults. \r

Despite the prosecution's demand to try the accused as an adult for a heinous offense, the Court highlighted that the Act mandates an inclusive environment to support the well-being and development of children. The minor, who caused a fatal accident while driving under the influence, was booked for various offenses but was released from an observation home following his aunt's petition against his detention.
