Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.4988 of 2024(5) dt.02-04-2026 2/2 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(i)(r)(s) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, whereby the prayer for anticipatory bail of these appellants has been rejected.
3. At the outset, it is submitted by learned Spl.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State and learned counsel for the complainant/Respondent No. 2 that the prayer for grant of prearrest bail to the appellants is not maintainable, as cognizance has already been taken by the learned trial court for the offences punishable under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. In this regard, reliance is placed upon the case of Bachu Das Vs. State of Bihar and others reported in (2014) 3 Supreme Court Cases 471.
4. In view of the aforesaid submissions and pronouncement of law rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Bachu Das (supra), appellants' prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail is rejected and this appeal stands dismissed. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) shashank/- U T
