4. Considering the nature of offences alleged against the petitioner, the fact that anticipatory bail cannot be granted in respect of offences punishable under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and that custody of the petitioner pending consideration of his bail application could cause him irreparable hardship, this Court considers it appropriate to direct the learned District Principal Sessions Judge, Chengalpattu, to consider the bail application of the petitioner on merits and pass appropriate order on the same day of his surrender.

5. Accordingly, the petition is ordered.
