By way of this memo of appeal, preferred under Section 14(A) of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, appellant seeks for setting aside the order dated 13.9.2019 passed in Ghorasahan (Jitna) P.S.Case No.296 of 2019 for the offences punishable under Section 341, 342, 323, 354 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3(i)(r)/3(1)(w)(i) (s) of SC/ST (POA) Act by the learned 1st Addl. Sessions Judge cum Special Judge, SC/ST (POA) Act, East Champaran, Motihari whereby and whereunder, the appellant's application for grant of anticipatory bail has been rejected.

As per FIR, allegation against the appellant is that he

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.4425 of 2019(3) dt.09-12-2019 2/2 tried to outrage the modesty of the informant and when others protested, they have been assaulted also.

Submission of the learned counsel for the appellant is that earlier to that a case had been lodged by the appellant's side against the informant and he has also pelted stones on the house of the appellant and in order to save his skin the present case has been filed.

Heard learned Special P.P. , who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that there are specific allegations against this appellant, as such he does to deserve prayer for anticipatory bail..

Having heard both sides, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the appellant, however, if he surrenders and pray for regular bail, the same shall be considered on the basis of submission as made above as well as the materials available on the record and if possible to be disposed of on the same day. With the above direction, this application is dismissed.
