Judgment SHIV KUMAR SHARMA, J. ( 1 ) INSTANT revision impugns the order dated November 19, 1997 of the learned Sessions Judge, Kota whereby the appeal under Section 37 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 1986 (for short the Act) of the petitioner was dismissed and prayer of the petitioner for releasing him on bail was declined. ( 2 ) CRIMINAL Case No. 176/97 under Sections 302, 147 148, 326452 and 323, IPC is pending in the Juvenile Court, Kota against the petitioner. All application under Section 18 of the Act was moved by the petitioner for releasing him on bail but the Juvenile Court dismissed the said application by its order dated November 11, 1997. An application under Section 37 of the Act was submitted, by the petitioner but it was also dismissed as mentioned hereinabove. ( 3 ) SECTION 18 (1) of the Act contains the provision of bail. A cursory look at this section demonstrates that a delinquent juvenile ordinarily has to be released on bail irrespective of the nature of the offence alleged to have been committed unless it is shown that his release is likely to bring him under the influence of any criminal or expose him to moral danger or that his release would defeat the ends of justice. ( 4 ) A perusal of the orders under revision reveals that there is no material on record to show that the release of the petitioner is likely to bring him under the influence of any criminal or expose him to moral danger or it would defeat the ends of justice. The learned Sessions Judge declined bail to the petitioner on the ground that in case the petitioners is released on bail, it shall affect the society. In my considered view bail to the petitioner on such a ground could not have been denied. The provisions of Section 18 (1) of the Act are mandatory in nature and the Courts are expected not to handle these provisions in a casual manner. ( 5 ) RESULTANTLY, the revision succeeds and is hereby allowed. The orders of Juvenile Court and the Sessions Judge declining bail to the petitioner stand set aside and it is directed that the petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond by his natural guardian in the sum of Rs. ( 5 ) RESULTANTLY, the revision succeeds and is hereby allowed. The orders of Juvenile Court and the Sessions Judge declining bail to the petitioner stand set aside and it is directed that the petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond by his natural guardian in the sum of Rs. 10,000/ - and a surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Juvenile Justice Court. Kota with a stipulation that on an subsequent dates of, hearing he shall appear before the said Court or any other Court during pendency of the inquiry in the case and the guardian shall keep the petitioner under strict vigil and prevent him from exposing to moral danger and from the company of the cri m in a is. Revision allowed.
