The implementation of the sentence given by the Juvenile Court in the Pune Porsche car accident case has commenced [bba323e2].

In Kalyani Nagar, Pune, a minor driving a high-speed Porsche car fatally struck two people. The juvenile's affluent family allegedly engaged in multiple unlawful activities to save him, including tampering with his blood sample and presenting incorrect reports in court. The police have arrested the juvenile's grandfather, father, and mother in connection with the case [bba323e2].
The Juvenile Justice Board ordered the minor to write a 300-word essay as part of his sentence. He was also instructed to undergo counseling and work with traffic police on traffic management duties. The juvenile has submitted the essay to the Juvenile Justice Board, and the process of fulfilling other conditions is underway [bba323e2] [8b1c19bc].
The Bombay High Court has ordered the release of the minor accused in the Pune Porsche car accident case [8b1c19bc]. The court emphasized that the accused should receive the same treatment as any other child in conflict with the law and criticized the haphazard manner in which the prosecution and law enforcement agencies handled the situation under public pressure [8b1c19bc].
The accident occurred on May 19, 2024, when a 17-year-old minor crashed a Porsche into a motorcycle, killing two riders. The minor faced public outrage and was manhandled before being apprehended. An FIR was filed against the minor, and he was produced before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) in Pune [8b1c19bc].
The JJB issued an order to place the minor in an Observation Home for rehabilitation. However, the minor's paternal aunt filed a writ of habeas corpus for his release, arguing that he could not be placed in an Observation Home once bail was granted [8b1c19bc].
The Bombay High Court held that the JJB's order to confine the minor despite bail was illegal and without jurisdiction. The court emphasized that the Juvenile Justice Act aims to protect children in conflict with the law and specified conditions for granting bail [8b1c19bc].
The court permitted the minor to benefit from the special legislation and directed that he remain under the supervision of his paternal aunt. The court clarified that the rehabilitation and reintegration of the child into society is a primary objective of the Juvenile Justice Act. The conditions imposed by the previous order will continue to govern him [8b1c19bc].
