The case dates back to September 2017, when a 2nd standard student of the school died due to injuries caused to his neck.
Initially, the school bus conductor was apprehended by the police for confessing to slitting the throat of the 7-year-old. Later, when the matter was transferred to the CBI, the present accused, a 11th standard student, was arrested under the suspicion of murder.
He has been in custody since November 7, 2017.
A Gurugram District and Sessions Court had in March last year dismissed the bail plea filed by him.
In December 2017, the Juvenile Justice Board had made a preliminary assessment that the accused should be tried as an adult, and his bail plea was, therefore, dismissed the following year.
After a challenge to the same was dismissed by a Sessions Court and Punjab and Haryana High Court, another bail plea was filed that was dismissed by the Supreme Court (and relied on by the Gurgaon sessions court last year).
The first appeal before the top court was a challenge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court order in 2018 remitting the matter to the Board for fresh consideration on how the juvenile has to be tried.
