JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 06-03-2017 Responding to the order of this Court dated 20.02.2017, report has been submitted by Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Nawada from which, it appears that enquiry under Section 14 of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 has commenced. The petitioner has been held to be a juvenile in connection with Narhat P.S. Case No. 117 of 2016 and the matter is pending for enquiry before the Juvenile Justice Board, Nawada. The application of petitioner for his release on bail has been rejected by the Juvenile Justice Board and subsequently by the Additional District and Sessions Judge I-cumSpecial Judge, Nawada by order dated 15.12.2016 and, accordingly, this revision application has been filed, questioning the aforesaid order.

Patna High Court CR. REV. No.86 of 2017 (5) dt.06-03-2017 2/2 From the impugned orders, I find that the reason which has been assigned by the court below and the Board is that the petitioner's release on bail will be against the interest of justice.

Without going into the correctness of the said finding recorded by the court below and the Board and without interfering with the said impugned orders, this application is disposed of with a direction to the Board to conclude the enquiry under Section 14 of the Act within a period of four months. If the enquiry within four months has not been concluded, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his payer for bail before appropriate forum. (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J) Vats/- U T
