IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REVISION No.558 of 2008 BIPAT MIAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 15.07.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case under Sections 302 and 201 of the Penal Code. He was declared juvenile by the Juvenile Justice Board, Muzaffarpur under order dated 5.1.2008 but his prayer for bail has been refused under orders dated 17.1.2008 passed in Trial No. 1136 of 2008, arising out of Sugauli P.S.Case No. 115 of 2007 which order has also been affirmed in appeal vide judgment dated 12.5.2008 passed by 5th Additional Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur in Cr. Appeal No. 10 of 2008. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that perusal of the two orders refusing bail to the petitioner would indicate that only considering the seriousness of the offence petitioner’s prayer for bail was refused, which can hardly be a ground under Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 to detain a juvenile. In the circumstances, both the order dated 17.1.2008 passed by the Juvenile Justice Board, Muzaffarpur in Trial No. 1136 of 2008, arising out of Sugauli P.S.Case No. 115 of 2007 as also the appellate order dated 12.5.2008 passed by 5th Additional Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur in Cr. Appeal No. 10 of 2008 are set aside and petitioner, namely, Bipat Mian is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5000/- (Five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Presiding Officer, Juvenile Justice Board, Muzaffarpur in connection with Trial No. 1136 of 2008, arising out of Sugauli P.S.Case No. 115 of 2007. This Cr. Revision application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
