A court on Friday sought response of the Delhi Police on a plea of a teenager, who allegedly ran over a 32-year-old marketing executive while driving his father’s Mercedes, challenging the Juvenile Justice Board’s (JJB) order to try him as an adult.
Additional Sessions Judge Vimal Kumar Yadav fixed July 2 for hearing the arguments of the Delhi Police and the boy on the appeal.
During the hearing, counsel for the teenager informed the court that they have not got a copy of the chargesheet.
On the court’s direction, the investigating officer then provided a copy of the charge sheet and other documents annexed with it to the boy, who along with his parents was also present in the court.
Advocate Abhimanyu Kampani, who appeared for the teenager, said without providing charge sheet to the accused, the Presiding Officer of JJB heard arguments and ordered that the boy be tried as an adult by sending the case before the trial court.
