The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently said that society's concerns cannot be ignored while interpreting the provision for granting bail to a child in conflict with the law, particularly in cases of heinous crimes. The high court bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Paliwal stated that the aim of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, which has a liberal provision to provide bail to juveniles, is to take care of both the child-in-conflict-with-law as well as the society. The court further said that it is important to strike a balance while considering the matter of bail of a juvenile. The court observed while dismissing the bail plea of a 16-year-old boy, who, along with a co-accused, allegedly killed a 17-year-old boy in 2023 after their demand for a ransom of Rs 20 Lakh was not met.
