**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Manjeet alias Mahesh has filed this revision petition against State of Haryana under Section 401 Cr.P.C. challenging the order dated 08.10.2018 passed by learned Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Bhiwani as well as the judgment dated 10.01.2019 passed by learned Sessions Judge, Bhiwani vide which the bail application and the appeal against the order of Juvenile Justice Board have been dismissed, respectively.

Notice of motion was issued. Learned State counsel appeared and contested the petition.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as VINEET GULATI 2019.05.24 16:07 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh learned State counsel and have gone through the record.

CRR No.785 of 2019 -2At the time of arguments, it has been brought to the notice of this Court that at the time of occurrence, the petitioner was juvenile and proceedings are going on before Juvenile Justice Board. The petitioner is not the main accused and he is in custody since 14.03.2018. Keeping in view the facts and circumstance of the present case and in view of the fact that petitioner was juvenile at the time of occurrence and trial is going on before Juvenile Justice Board, which will take long time, I find that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the disposal of the case. Otherwise also, in normal course, bail is to be granted to the juvenile. In the FIR, so many accused have been named and trial against other accused is going on before trial Court.

Therefore, finding merit in the revision petition, the same is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on furnishing bail bonds in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Juvenile Justice Board, Bhiwani.
