Recently, the Uttarakhand High Court noted that in light of Section 12 of Juvenile Justice Act (the Act) of 2015, a person who is apparently a child is entitled to be released on bail with or without surety or be placed under supervision or under the care of any fit person.
According to the Bench of RC Khulbe, the distinction between non-bailable and bailable offense has been done away with in respect of juvenile.
At the outset, the court remarked that u/s 12 of the Act bail could be refunded if there are reasons to believe that the appellant will come into association with known criminals. The court stated that the term known criminal was put in on purpose and this means that the court should know all details of the criminals with whom the appellant might come into the association.
