Mr. Lav Sharma, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 22.04.2016 1.

The present Revision has been preferred challenging the order dated 18.02.2016 passed by the Special Judge (Atrocities) Raipur in Criminal Appeal No. 29/2016 whereby the appeal under Section-52 of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of the Children) Act, 2000 for grant of bail to the Applicant has been rejected. 2.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant before this Court has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 344/15 registered in Police Station Telibandha under Sections 294 & 307 of I.P.C. The allegation against the present Applicant is that he had assaulted the complainant Sayyad Nadim inflicting knife injury on his

chest on 27.09.2015. The Applicant is in jail since 17.10.2015, as such, he has already remained in jail for a period of six months. He prays that the Applicant may be released on bail taking into consideration his age. 3.
