He further submits that both the learned Courts have rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner only on the ground of gravity of crime. He submits that Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 has not been appreciated by both the learned Courts.

In light of Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, refusal of bail can be only on following three grounds: (i) If there appear reasonable grounds for believing that the release is likely to bring that person into association with any known criminal; (ii) Expose the said person to moral, physical or psychological danger; or (iii) The person’s release would defeat the ends of justice. 6. From perusal of Section 12 of the said Act, it also transpires that seriousness of the alleged offence or the age of the juvenile are also no relevant consideration for denial of bail above 16 years of age and is alleged to have committed a heinous offence is also entitled to get bail under section 12 of the Act, 2015. There is no classification, whatsoever, provided in Section 12 of the Act, 2015 with regard to grant of bail.
