IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1635 of 2009 JAI PRAKASH KUMAR NIGAM @ JAY PRAKASH NIGAM, son of Rajeshwar Sahani, resident of Bhuwan Chapra, P.S.-Chakiya, District-East Champaran---------------------------------------Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 26.10.2009 Heard the parties. It appears, as submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner, that petitioner before his majority fell in love with the victim girl and in that course became a victim of offence under sections 376 and 366A of the Indian Penal Code and for that he remained in custody for a period of one year, ten months and seven days. While maximum punishment which can be awarded by the Juvenile Justice Board is three years. In my view, this period of custody should be taken into consideration for his release while no chance of having association with a known criminal has not been considered by the court below. Let the above named petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Juvenile Justice Board, Muzaffarpur, in connection with Trial no.882 of 2009 arising out of Mohammadpur P.S. case no.108 of 2004. It is made clear that one of the bailors must be father of the petitioner who shall undertake to keep the petitioner under his observation and produce him whenever he is required by the Juvenile Justice Board or any court. sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J )
