For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Amrendra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s Mr. Ambika Bhagat Spl.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 02/ 08.01.2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Special PP for the State.

Although instant case was registered on the basis of complaint petition but there is allegation against the petitioner that he and one co-accused Krishna Rawat took the informant towards a hillock and not only assaulted, looted but co-accused Krishna Rawat committed rape upon her.

The case has been registered under the provision of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Therefore, in my view, section 18 of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 is applicable and this anticipatory bail petition is not maintainable. Accordingly, this petition filed in connection with Jamui Mahila P. S. case no. 23/2014 stands

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.595 of 2015 (2) dt.08-01-2015 dismissed being not maintainable.

However, at the time of consideration of regular bail application of the petitioner, observation given in this order shall not prejudice to the concerned court. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J) U T
