Judgment M.M.Aggarwal, J. 1. This is a revision petition against order dated 15.6.2004 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Chandigarh, whereby appeal filed by the present petitioner against order dated 11.12.2003 of the Juvenile Board had been dismissed. Petitioner had been requesting for bail being juvenile and bail had not been granted. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is that he committed murder of Anurag on 3.5.2003, aged about 12 years since the demand of Rs. 5,00,000/- as ransom, made by him, was not met. His application for bail was declined by Juvenile Board U.T. Chandigarh. Appeal filed by him was dismissed by Additional Sessions Judge, Chandigarh on 15.6.2004 observing that he had committed gruesome murder. 3. On behalf of the State, it is pointed out that petitioner was involved in other two cases. Copies of FIRs in those cases have been produced showing that cases are under Section 379 IPC. The petitioner is not named as accused and these are regarding theft of motor-cycle. 4. Counsel for the petitioner pointed out that these FIRs are of earlier period and petitioner has just been involved after his arrest in this case. Petitioner is admittedly a juvenile. 5. As per Section 12 of the Jevenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, bail can be refused only if it appears that his release is likely to bring him in association with any known criminal or expose him to moral, physical or psychological danger or that his release would defeat the ends of justice. 6. Father of the petitioner namely, Sat Pal is present in Court. He says that he is resident of Sonepat in Haryana but is now residing in Sector 38 West, Chandigarh and is doing the work of mason. He undertakes to take carte that petitioner if released does not come into association with any known criminal or exposes himself to moral, physical and psychological danger. 7. This petitioner is in custody for the last more than two years the case is pending trial. When his father is present and undertakes to take care of the juvenile, then I am of the view that release of the petitioner shall not defeat the ends of justice. 8. Under these circumstances this petition is allowed. Petitioner shall be released on bail by the Juvenile Board, U.T. Chandigarh to its satisfaction.
