1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. Mr.Asit Kumar Jena, learned counsel for the petitioner while filing the certified copy of Social Investigation Report of the Child-in-Conflict with Law- cum-petitioner after serving a copy thereof to Mr.P.Satapathy, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor prays to treat this Criminal Revision as Criminal Appeal since Sec. 101(5) of Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (in short, “JJCPC Act”) prescribes appeal against the order of the Sessions Judge.
3. In view of the provision of Sec.101(5) of JJCPC Act, 2015 and taking into account the submission as advanced, this Court presently treats this application as an Criminal Appeal instead of Criminal Revision and accordingly directs the Registry
to re-assign appropriate number to this petition. Further, since Criminal Appeal in the nature of bail is within the roster of this Court, list this matter on 24th July, 2025.
