4.

Considering the nature of offences alleged against the petitioners, 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 taking into custody of the petitioners pending consideration of their bail application could cause them irreparable hardship, this Court considers it appropriate to direct the learned Sessions Judge, Thiruvanamalai, to consider the bail applications of the petitioners on merits and pass appropriate order on the same day of their surrender.

5.Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is ordered. gpa -s/d- Assistant Registrar(CS-III) Dt:4/3/2015 True Copy Sub-Assistant Registrar To
