IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1078 of 2009 PINKI KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner : Mr. Ranjeet Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay, APP ----------- 3 20.07.2009 Heard both sides. The petitioner seeks to challenge the order dated 30.3.2009 passed by learned District and Sessions Judge, Jehanabad in Cr. Appeal No. 18 of 2009 whereby the appeal preferred by her against the order dated 13.1.2009 passed by Juvenile Justice Board, Jehanabad in Sakurabad P.S. case no. 64 of 2007 registered under section 328 and 302 of Indian Penal Code has been dismissed. The petitioner is facing a charge/allegation that she poisoned her husband to death in her naihar. Such charge was levelled on 22.5.2007. She was taken into custody on 28.5.2007. She claimed to be juvenile. The Juvenile Justice Board under order dated 2.1.2009 found that at the time of occurrence, she was 14 years and 11 months old. The Juvenile Justice Board, however, under order dated 13.1.2009 rejected her application for release on the plea that she may come with the contact of anti-social elements and it will defeat ends of justice. Petitioner, as noticed above, preferred appeal before the Lower Appellate Court. It was argued that since the appellant-petitioner is a lady and there is no chance of her going into association of criminals as her father is ready to take care of her and provide shelter and protection, she may be 2 released on bail. Considering the allegation and the materials available on record, the Lower Appellate Court rejected her prayer concluding that her release will defeat ends of justice. That present application is supported by an affidavit affirmed by the father of the petitioner. learned counsel submits that the father of the juvenile petitioner is prepared to take full care of the petitioner if she is released on bail. It is contended that she is in custody since 28.5.2007. In the facts and circumstances of the case, during the pendency of the criminal revision application this court directs for release of the petitioner abovenamed on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Jehanabad in Sakurabad P.S. case no. 64 of 2007 subject to the following conditions: (i) one of the bailers shall be her father (present deponent) (ii) The father shall file an affidavit along with the bail bonds taking full responsibility of the petitioner and giving an undertaking that as and when, she is required, it will be his duty to produce her in the court. pkj ( Kishore K.
