seeking anticipatory bail was maintainable.<\/p>\n<p>Writing the judgment for the bench, Justice Nagamuthu said a study of the Juvenile Justice Act makes it clear that no police officer has been empowered to arrest &#8220;a child in conflict with the law&#8221; but only to &#8220;apprehend&#8221; him or her.<\/p>\n<p>Making it clear that there cannot be fear of arrest in the case of a juvenile, the judge said, accordingly, a plea seeking anticipatory bail at the instance of the child in conflict with the law was not maintainable either before the high court or the sessions court, the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Had it been the intention of the legislature that a police officer should be empowered to arrest a child in conflict with the law, it would have used the expression &#8216;arrest&#8217; instead of &#8216;apprehend&#8217; in the Juvenile Justice Act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The legislature has empowered the police only to apprehend the child in conflict with the law and produce him or her before the Juvenile Justice Board.<\/p>\n<p>The proviso to section 10 of the Juvenile Justice Act makes it very clear that in no case a child alleged to be in conflict with the law shall be placed in a police lock-up or a jail.<\/p>\n<p>The board has been obliged to send the child either to an observation home or a place of safety.<\/p>\n<p>In view of such safeguards and the legal position that a child in conflict with law cannot be arrested, it obviates the need to seek anticipatory bail, the bench held.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a direction to the Juvenile Justice Board to release the child in conflict with the law cannot be issued by the high court, the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>The reference to the division bench was made following contradictory orders of judges when a juvenile filed a petition seeking to release him on anticipatory bail in the event of his arrest in connection with a pending police case.<\/p>\n<p>While one judge took a view that a juvenile seeking anticipatory bail was maintainable, two other judges held that it was not.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, a reference was made to the division bench to answer the legal question as to whether a plea by a juvenile seeking advance bail was maintainable.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
