In a first, a teenager, who allegedly ran over a business consultant while driving his father’s Mercedes, will now face trial as an adult after the Juvenile Justice Board on Saturday said the offence allegedly committed by him was “heinous”. The Presiding Officer of the JJB passed the order on the application of Delhi Police which had sought transfer of the case to trial court to try as adult the accused who turned major just four days after the April 4, 2016 incident. It is the first of its kind case since the amendment in the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, which allowed the Board to transfer cases of heinous offences by children to a sessions court.
