Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of
children) Act, 2000- if the release is
refused on these ground the court should
record finding as to whether any such
ground exists or not the impugned order
does not show any such ground except
that it is against law. The impugned
order has been passed in utter disregard
of section 12 of the Act.

Held- Para 6

The revision is therefore, allowed. The
revisionist shall be released on bail on
his furnishing two sureties and personal
bond
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Magistrate concerned.

(Delivered by Hon'ble K.N. Sinha, J.)

1. The present revision has been
filed against the order dated 17.12.2002
passed by Additional Session Judge I
Baghpat refusing bail application number
1114 of 2002 moved by revisionist under
the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection
of Children) Act 2000, (hereinafter
referred to as Act).

2. The brief facts giving rise to this
revision are that on 19.6.2002 revisionist
Deepak Kumar committed rape on Km.
Ujma Praveen. The revisionist was
arrested and he moved for bail which was
rejected. The revisionist approached this
Court by filing criminal revision no. 2888
of 2002 which was disposed of by this
Court by order dated 15.11.2002 directing
the Sessions Judge to decide the bail
application on merit by exercising his
power vested on him by Section 6 (2) of
the Act keeping in view the provisions of
Section 12 of the Act. After the remand of
the case and the above direction by this
Court the Sessions Judge transferred the
bail application to the Court of Additional
Sessions Judge I, who rejected the bail
application hence this revision.

3. I have heard learned counsel for
the revisionist and the learned A.G.A.
perused the impugned order. This Court
has directed to decide the matter keeping
in view the provisions of Section 12 of the
Act. Section 12 of the Act reads as
follows :

12. Bail of Juvenile-
(1) when any person accused of a
bailable or non bailable offence and
apparently a juvenile is arrested or
detained or appears or is brought before a
Board, such person shall, notwithstanding
anything contained in the Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) or
in any other law for the time being In
force, be released on bail with or without
surety but he shall not be so released if
there appear reasonable grounds for
believing that the release 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.
(2).......
(3).......

4. According to Sub Section (1) of
Section 12 any person, being juvenile
shall be released on bail with or without
surety. However, for refusal of the bail
there are only three grounds- firstly if the
release is likely to bring him into the
association with any known criminal.
Secondly, exposes him to moral, physical
or psychological danger and thirdly if his
release would defeat the ends of justice.

5. This Court has been repeatedly
directing that if the release is refused on
these grounds the court should record
finding as to whether any such ground
exists or not. It is not that the mere
quoting of few lines from this Act, the
bail should be refused. The impugned
order does not show any such ground
except that it is against law. Being against
law is no ground under Section 12 of the
Act whereas this Court by its order dated
15.11.2002 directed the Sessions Judge to
decide the bail application keeping in
view the provision of Section 12 of the
Act. The impugned order has been passed
in utter disregard of Section 12 of the Act
but it nowhere shows that the release
would defeat the ends of justice and
moreover there is also nothing to show as
to how the release would defeat the ends
of justice. No doubt the girl is minor but
at the same time the boy is also minor and
is detained in Children Home for the last
7-8 months. It appears that the Sessions
Court was bent upon refusing the bail
application and that is why ignored the
direction of this Court, which is not
proper for the Additional Sessions Judge
concerned.

6. The revision is therefore, allowed.
The revisionist shall be released on bail
on his furnishing two sureties and
personal bond to the satisfaction of the
Magistrate concerned.
