The Bombay High Court on Monday upheld the conviction of a 28-year-old man who rammed his motorbike into a woman, killing her 11 years ago, but granted him probation noting he was only 18 at the time and had no intention to cause the accident, reported PTI.

As per the PTI report, Justice S G Mehare at the Aurangabad bench (in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, central Maharashtra) said while the conviction of the man, Akshay Khandve, was "just and not illegal", benefits of the Probation of Offenders Act could be extended to him considering his young age and other factors.
