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) Amendment Ordinance Act, 2014, and that taking into custody of the petitioner, pending consideration of her bail application could cause her irreparable hardship, this Court considers it appropriate to direct the learned Sessions Judge, Cuddalore, to consider bail application of the petitioner on merits and pass appropriate orders on the same day of her surrender. Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is ordered.
