A teenager, who allegedly ran over a 32-year-old marketing executive while driving his father’s Mercedes, on Thursday moved a Delhi court challenging the Juvenile Justice Board’s (JJB) order to try him as an adult.

The boy, who turned major just four days after the April 4 incident, claimed that at best he could be booked for alleged offence of causing death by rash and negligent act and it was not a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder for which he has been charged.

The appeal would come up for hearing on Friday before additional sessions judge Vimal Kumar Yadav.

Advocate Rajiv Mohan, who filed the appeal on the boy’s behalf, said JJB has considered the entire charge sheet filed before it by the Delhi police without giving its copy to the accused. “Without supplying copy of charge sheet to the accused, the presiding officer of JJB heard the arguments and made up his mind and ordered to try the teenager as an adult by sending it before the trial court,” he said. “It could only be a case under Section 304 A (causing death by rash or negligent act) of IPC,” he said.
