Gurugram: The Juvenile justice board on Tuesday dismissed the bail plea of 16-year-old Bholu who has been accused of killing 8-year-old (Prince) in the washroom of the private school last year. The judgment was given after hearing the arguments from both the sides. On Friday after the directions from Punjab and Haryana high court, special sessions judge JS Kundu transferred the case back to juvenile justice board.
In a major decision, Punjab and Haryana court stated that the process to declare 'Bholu' as an adult was illegal. It has now referred back the matter to juvenile justice board. The petition was being heard by Justice Daya Chaudhury. Last year on December 20, the Juvenile Justice board gave the judgment that the class XI student will be tried as an adult. The order was significant as it now ensures that the class XI student if convicted will not serve the terms of punishment for three years as was the case before.
