The plea filed through advocate Swapnil Ambure said that the juvenile should be immediately released.
The matter was heard today by a division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande.
Chief Public Prosecutor Hiten Venegaonkar, appearing for the JJB, opposed the petition on maintainability. He claimed that the juvenile was remanded to observation home through a legal order.
Senior advocate Abad Ponda, appearing for the petitioner, prayed for immediate release of the juvenile. He also sought time to amend the petition to append the order of June 13 which extended the juvenile’s detention in the observation home.
The division bench granted time to Ponda to amend the petition, but refused to grant any immediate relief without hearing the plea. It posted the matter for hearing on June 20.
