Chhattisgarh HC denies bail to juveniles accused of murder

The Chhattisgarh High Court has denied bail to two juveniles accused of murder, citing the seriousness of the crime and potential risks of their release. The court emphasized the need for careful evaluation under the Juvenile Justice Act. Justice Arvind Kumar Verma noted that previous courts did not fully consider the social investigation report, which assesses risks associated with releasing juveniles. The court highlighted the gravity of the charges, including conspiracy and murder of family members. The court concluded that releasing the juveniles would undermine justice and societal order. Their bail application was dismissed, upholding the decisions of the Juvenile Justice Board and the Additional Sessions Judge.
