NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. The present revision petition is directed against the order dated 5.5.2010 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Chandigarh, dismissing the appeal filed against the order dated 8.4.2010 passed by Juvenile Justice Board cum Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Chandigarh, whereby the bail application of the petitioner was rejected. It is contended that as per the allegation in the FIR and medical report, initial requirement of the offence under Section 376 IPC is not made out. The petitioner is stated to be 16 years of age. The fact that he is juvenile is not denied. Whether the offence will fall under Sections 354 or 376/511 IPC is a matter of evidence. No material has been relied upon by the Courts below to come to the conclusion that his release is likely to bring the juvenile in contact with criminals. Accordingly, the revision is allowed and the orders dated 5.5.2010 and 8.4.2010 passed by the Courts below are set aside and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandigarh. 24.5.2010 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) rajeev JUDGE
