Ryan student to be tried as an adult
Context
The 16-year-old student of the Ryan International School, apprehended in connection with the murder of his schoolmate Pradhyuman Thakur, will be tried as an adult, the Juvenile Justice Board said here on Wednesday.
The Judgement
Pronouncing its judgment around noon, the court said the juvenile in conflict with the law would be produced before the sessions court on December 22.
Backdrop
The court had reserved its verdict on the application of Pradhyuman’s father, Barun Thakur, seeking the trial of the accused as an adult in the last hearing on December 15.
‘Historic order’
Mr. Thakur’s lawyer Sushil Tekriwal said it was a “historic” order and a “turning point” in the high-profile case.
What next?
The juvenile will now be produced before a sessions court and the judge will then assign the case to the relevant Child Sessions Court
