The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday rejected the bail plea of the 16-year-old juvenile, who is being tried as an adult, for murdering a seven-year-old student in the washroom of Ryan International School in Gurugram, news agency ANI reported.
In May, a child sessions court in Gurugram upheld the judgment by the Juvenile Justice board that the main accused in the murder of a Class I student in Ryan International School last September be tried as an adult.
The CBI had earlier opposed the bail plea of the 16-year-old student accused in the Ryan murder case, saying the recent Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) order to try him as an adult "speaks about his mental status and the heinous crime he committed".
The agency sought dismissal of the bail plea on the ground that the JJB had passed a very reasonable order denying statutory bail to the student, accused of killing seven-year- old Pradhuman Thakur.
Pradhuman was found with his throat slit in the school's washroom on September 8 and the Gurgaon Police had said the crime was committed by a school bus conductor, which was later refuted by the CBI.
The CBI claimed the 16-year-old teenager killed Class 2 student Pradhuman in a bid to get the school closed so that a scheduled parent-teacher meeting and an examination could be deferred.
Advocate Sushil Tekriwal Sushil Tekriwal, appearing for Pradhuman's father, Barun Thakur, said that the appeal for bail was at a "premature stage" as the investigation was yet to be concluded.
