IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REVISION No.658 of 2008 ANUP KUMAR SINGH @ VIVEK SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 17.07.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case registered for the offence under Sections 25 (1-B) A, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act. He was apprehended at the spot along with two others and from the custody of those who were apprehended at the spot one country made pistol and two cartridges were recovered but from perusal of the First Information Report it appears that co-accused Manjit Singh has claimed the ownership of the recovered arms. Petitioner has been adjudged as a juvenile under orders dated 11.12.2007 passed by the appellate court (Sessions Judge, Saran) in Cr. Appeal No. 110 of 2007. His prayer for bail, however, was rejected by the Juvenile Justice Board under orders dated 7.5.2008 which has also been affirmed in appeal under orders dated 20.5.2008 passed by the Sessions Judge, Saran at Chapra in Cr. Appeal No. 55 of 2008. It is submitted on his behalf that from the orders of the Juvenile Justice Board as also of the appellate court it does not appear that the grounds as required under Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 is made out to detain the petitioner in jail custody as from perusal of the two orders it will only appear that if the petitioner will be released from jail custody, he is likely to enter into contact with the known criminals but no circumstance to suggest such eventuality has been indicated in the two orders. - 2 - In the circumstances, I set aside both the orders dated 07.05.2008 passed by the Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Chapra in Janta Bazar P.S.Case No. 39 of 2007 as also the appellate order dated 20.5.2008 passed by the Sessions Judge, Saran at Chapra in Cr. Appeal (Juvenile) No. 55 of 2008 and direct that petitioner, namely, Anup Kumar Singh @ Vivek Singh 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 Sri V.S.Pandey, J.M., Saran at Chapra in connection with Janta Bazar P.S.Case No. 39 of 2007 (Juvenile Tr.
