For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Vinay Mistry For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Ram Shankar Das ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 06-09-2016 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of SC/ST (Hajipur) Police Station Case No. 19 of 2016, disclosing offences under Sections 341/324/325/ 326/354/504/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 (1) (e), 3 (1) (g), 3 (1) (r), 3 (1) (z) and 3 (2) (xa) of the Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015.
On perusal of the First Information Report, I find
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36763 of 2016 (2) dt.06-09-2016 2/2 that an offence under Sections 3 (1) (e), 3 (1) (g), 3 (1) ®, 3 (1) (z) and 3 (2) (xa) of the Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015, is made out.
In that view of the matter, the anticipatory bail application cannot be maintained.
Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted that addition of provisions of the Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015, is merely a superimposition. He has also submitted that the First Information Report has been apparently lodged out of some civil dispute between the parties.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this application is disposed of with an observation that if the petitioners appear before the Court below within four weeks from today and prays for regular bail, their application shall be considered and disposed of on the same day.
