The Delhi court denied bail to a juvenile, allegedly involved in 13 criminal cases including theft and house trespass. The court said the Juvenile cannot be released from reformation home as he was a habitual offender.
The court denying the Juvenile’s appeal said
“The appellant (juvenile) was involved in 13 previous involvements and is an admitted fact that (he) was also found involved in the offences. There are thus reasonable grounds to believe that the release of the appellant on bail would defeat the ends of justice as he seems to be a habitual offender and may misuse the liberty of bail again by indulging in commission of offences.
“The Juvenile Justice Board -II has infact also expressed its anguish by mentioning in the impugned order that they had lost the number of counts of the incidents of burglary wherein the appellant was found to be involved and that every time he comes out on bail he commits the same offence again,” Additional Sessions Judge Amit Bansal.
The court said there was no illegality in order of JJB which rightly dismissed the 17-year-old juvenile’s bail application as his release would have defeated the ends of justice and there was no merits in his appeal.
