Pune (Maharashtra) [India], July 5 (HBTV): The 17-year-old minor involved in the Porsche car accident that claimed the lives of two persons in May has submitted a 300-word essay on road safety as part of his bail conditions. 

The essay was submitted to the Juvenile Justice Board on Wednesday, an official confirmed on Friday.

As part of his bail conditions, the minor was required to submit an essay on road safety, highlighting the importance of responsible driving, and the consequences of reckless behavior. 

The minor was released from an observation home the previous month after the Bombay High Court ruled that his remand orders were illegal.              

The incident took place on May 19 at 2.30 am in Pune's Kalyani Nagar, where the minor, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, drove a Porsche into a two-wheeler, resulting in the deaths of two software engineers. 

Notably, Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar had assured on June 26 that legal action would be taken against all the persons accused of involvement in the Pune car accident.

"As far as the case is concerned, the investigation is being done as per the evidence which is received. We will ensure that legal action is taken against all," Kumar had told ANI. 

The Bombay High Court on June 25 directed the authorities to immediately release the minor allegedly involved in the accident from the observation home. The juvenile was under observation at the home of the Juvenile Justice Board for 36 days after the incident.  

The court deemed the orders remanding him to an observation home as illegal and emphasized that the law regarding juveniles must be fully implemented and that justice must be prioritized above all else. 

The division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande of the Bombay High Court emphasized that justice must be realized regardless of consequences. The court made it clear that it was not swayed by the uproar surrounding the tragic accident that resulted in the loss of two lives. 

The High Court criticized the Juvenile Justice Board's remand orders as "illegal" and passed without jurisdiction. The court also reprimanded the police for their handling of the situation noting that the law enforcement agencies had succumbed to public pressure.
