Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023–Sec. 187(3) [ Corresponding Sec. 167(2) of Cr.P.C. 1973 ]–Denial from granting the default bail–Justifi-cation–There exists a material discrepancy between the charge-sheet initially made available and the certified copy subsequently supplied–The charge-sheet does not appear to have been filed on 21.11.2025, nor at any time prior to the filing of the application for default bail by the petitioner–A serious apprehension that such proceedings may have been recorded with a view to defeat the statutory rights of the petitioner and to lend justification to the action of concerned Judicial Officer–Had the charge-sheet in fact been filed prior thereto, there would have been no occasion for the Magistrate to call the complete case diary, particularly when it was well within the knowledge of the concerned Court that the charge-sheet has not been filed till that date–The endorsement dated 21.11.2025 shown to be made on the reverse side of the cover page of the charge-sheet, and the same bears the handwriting of the Presiding Officer himself–This circumstance assumes a far more serious complexion–Serious and prima facie doubt with regard to the very existence and authenticity of the facts as prayed in the order sheet projected to have been inscribed on 24.11.2025, and two order-sheets of 08.12.2025 with mismatch is a further suspicious circumstance–Directed to release the juvenile on bail.
