First see whether he was having a valid driving license, if not you have a good case that he was driving in a rash manner. Try to get person as witness who generally stay at the place where the accident occured and had seen the accident,

@Surjit - yes we have witness and he is not having any learner's liscenece even..

so what exactly can we do ?

can we not ut any counter case against him ?

Since it has come to light that he was not having having even the learner driving licence, in that case it become very easy to prove in the eye of law that the boy had no knowledge of driving in a public road where lot of traffic usually ply. The Court cannot come to the conclusion that when the boy who was under age and not having any driving licence issued in his favour will drive his vehicle in a proper manner as per driving rule.
