This Criminal Original Petition is filed to direct the learned District Principal and Sessions Judge (Special Judge for SC/ST Cases, Thiruvallur) to consider the bail application in Crime No.696 of 2021 and surrendering on the same day. 2.In view of the amendments made in the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, this Court is of the view that the usual directions that were issued by this Court cannot be issued routinely in all cases.

Therefore, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial Court within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on such surrender, the learned District Principal and Sessions Judge (Special Judge for SC/ST Cases, Thiruvallur), shall deal with the matter on the same day on merits and in accordance with law, after issuing notice to the victims under Section 15-A (3) of the SC/ST Act. It makes it clear that without going into the merits of this case, this Court is inclined to dispose the matter and it is for the trial Court to decide the case on its own merit. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.
