Prince Kumar vs State of Bihar — 4/2026

The District and Additional Sessions Judge set aside the Juvenile Justice Board's order denying bail to a 16-year-old child in conflict with law accused under Section 69 BNS (sexual abuse allegation). The court held that under the Juvenile Justice Act 2015, bail is a rule and can only be denied on three specific grounds—association with criminals, moral/physical danger, or defeating justice—and found none were established since observations about "bad company" lacked documentary support. The juvenile was granted bail on Rs. 10,000 bond with conditions including monthly probation officer reporting and family care undertaking.
