The minor was released from the observation home in June following a habeas corpus petition filed by the boy’s paternal aunt, reported HT.
The Bombay High Court said that the orders which remanded him to the facility were illegal, reported PTI.
“We allow the habeas corpus petition and order his release. We are bound by law. The aims and objectives of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act must treat him as any child in conflict with the law separately from adults, despite the seriousness of the crime,” a bench of Justice Bharati Dangre and Justice Manjusha Deshpande ruled, reported HT.
