IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.644 of 2011 AMIT KUMAR @ JATIN SON OF SRI CHANDESHWARI MEHTA @ CHANDESHWAR MEHTA (UNDER THE GUARDIANSHIP OF HIS FATHER), RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- SIMRAHI (PIPRAHI), P.S. RAGHOPUR, DISTRICT- SUPAUL. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 07.06.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 21.04.2011 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Saharsa in Criminal Appeal No. 3 of 2011(S) by which he has confirmed the order dated 14.01.2011 passed by Juvenile Justice Board, Supaul whereby the bail of the petitioner in connection with Pratapganj P.S. Case No. 47 of 2010 (G.R. Case No. 473 of 2010) instituted under Section 372, 373/34 of the Indian Penal Code was rejected. The case was initially registered under Sections 372, 373/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The matter was investigated into, Final Form against the petitioner was submitted and charge sheet was submitted against others under Section 366A, 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner took plea on his remand that he is a juvenile and 2 he is entitled to be treated under the provisions of Juvenile Justice Act. The Juvenile Justice Board considered the plea of the petitioner and declared him to be juvenile but when the prayer for bail was made by the petitioner then it was rejected and order of rejection was confirmed by the Appellate Court. Grievance of the petitioner is that Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) mandates specific provision for grant of bail to a juvenile and the bail has to be granted but it can be refused only when the court comes to a reasonable ground that the release of the accused is likely to bring him into association with any known criminal or expose him to moral, physical or psychological danger or that his release would defeat the ends of justice. Perusal of the impugned orders shows that none of the circumstances which are essential for rejecting the prayer for bail of a juvenile were available on the record. In the circumstances, I am of the view that the impugned orders are fit to be set aside. Accordingly, the same are set aside. Let petitioner Amit Kumar @ Jatin be released on bail on furnishing of bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten 3 thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Juvenile Justice Board, Supaul in connection with Pratapganj P.S. Case No. 47 of 2010 (G.R. Case No. 473 of 2010). However, one of the bailors shall be father of the petitioner who will file an affidavited undertaking before the court below stating that he will ensure that after release the petitioner is not allowed to associate with known criminals of the society and will not expose to moral, physical or psychological danger or his release would not defeat the ends of justice. This revision application thus stands allowed. Ibrar/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
