High Court: Steering wheel is not a child's toy; public road cannot be a playground for irresponsible behavior

The Karnataka High Court granted permission to hear the case against a 51-year-old father from Mysuru in a rare instance. The case involves IPC Section 304 Part II charges, filed because the father allowed his 14-year-old son to drive a car. The accident occurred on the Bengaluru-Mysuru road, resulting in the deaths of a couple and their son, and injuries to another son. The court stated that parents and guardians cannot consider the law prohibiting minors from driving merely for their convenience.
