(3.) SINCE the petitioner is a juvenile, an application was filed before Juvenile Justice Board, Pakur for release of the petitioner on bail. but that was rejected by holding that the release of the petitioner would defeat the ends of the justice and thereafter when an appeal being Cr. Appeal No. 69 of 2011 was preferred before the learned Sessions Judge -I. Pakur. it was also rejected, after holding that the release of the applicant on bail may bring him in association with the criminal, though the Social Investigation Report. reference of which is there in the order passed by the appellate Court is otherwise wherein it has been stated that the applicant is having good moral character and is not in contact with any criminal. but none of the Court below took into consideration the said report and hence both the orders are fit to be set aside.
