https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298024 Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 gives a child in conflict with law a general right to bail, but release may be refused where the court records a reasonable belief that it will expose the child to known criminals or to physical or psychological danger. On the facts, bail was denied because similar cases were already pending and release was likely to lead to further offending. Section 167(2) CrPC creates an enforceable right to default bail if the final report is not filed within the prescribed time, and the Supreme Court's COVID-19 limitation orders did not extend investigation timelines or defeat that right. The bail refusal on the first ground stood, but default bail remained available on the second issue. en-us Fri, 22 May 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 20:03:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298024 Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 gives a child in conflict with law a general right to bail, but release may be refused where the court records a reasonable belief that it will expose the child to known criminals or to physical or psychological danger.
