MUMBAI, April 28 -- The Bombay High Court on Monday issued notice on a plea by the widow of Dhrumil Patel, who was killed in the February 5 Vidyavihar crash, seeking cancellation of bail granted to the minor driver's father, and asked the accused and the State to file responses. The petition by Minal Patel challenges the March 4 sessions court order that granted bail to the father of a 17-year-old boy accused of driving the car involved in the fatal accident. The High Court has sought replies from the respondents, initiating proceedings on whether the bail granted to the father warrants interference. The accident took place near Somaiya College in Vidyavihar, where a car allegedly driven by the minor rammed into a scooter carrying Dhrumil Patel, 33, and his wife. Both were seriously injured, and Dhrumil later succumbed to his injuries. An FIR registered at Tilak Nagar police station named both the minor driver and his father, the car owner, as accused. A magistrate court had earlier denied bail to the father, citing prima facie evidence suggesting he knew the minor was driving. However, the sessions court granted bail on March 4, holding that there was insufficient material to establish that he knew that his son had taken the car. The court also said custodial interrogation was not required at that stage. In her plea, filed through advocates Atharva Dandekar, Ruben Mascarenhas and Tejas Gupta, Patel's wife contended that the sessions court overlooked material indicating the father's knowledge, including prior instances of reckless driving. The plea further alleges attempts to influence the case, including a monetary offer to the victim's family. Invoking provisions that hold a vehicle owner or guardian liable for offences committed by a minor, the petition seeks cancellation of bail, arguing that the father's continued liberty could affect the ongoing investigation and trial....
