In compliance with bail conditions set by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) following a fatal Porsche crash in Pune, the minor involved has submitted a 300-word essay on road accidents and their solutions. The Bombay High Court had previously ordered his release from juvenile detention on June 25, emphasizing adherence to JJB directives, which include psychological counselling and familiarization with traffic rules at the Regional Transport Office (RTO).
The incident, which occurred on May 19, tragically claimed the lives of software engineers Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta. The juvenile, allegedly driving under the influence at high speed, collided with a bike, prompting legal proceedings.
According to sources, the minor’s guardians are actively facilitating compliance with the court’s mandates. The essay submission marks one of several rehabilitative steps mandated by the court, with ongoing efforts to arrange counselling sessions at Sassoon Hospital and practical education on traffic regulations at the RTO.
The JJB’s initial bail conditions, outlined on May 19, included supervised interactions and educational activities to deter further infractions. Legal challenges ensued, with the Pune police contesting initial bail rulings, leading to subsequent deliberations by the JJB.
Despite procedural setbacks, including challenges to jurisdiction and requests for adult trial, the minor’s release was affirmed by the High Court, underscoring the need for strict adherence to rehabilitation measures.
As the case progresses, authorities continue to monitor compliance with the rehabilitative program, aiming to foster a responsible understanding of road safety and community accountability among young offenders.
