The petitioners are accused for offence punishable under Sections 147, 294(b), 323, 506(i) IPC read with Section 3(1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Ordinance, 2014.

The submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the respondent were heard. The materials available on record were also perused.

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) Amendment Ordinance, 2014, 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 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Thiruvallur, to consider the bail applications of the petitioners on merits and pass appropriate order on the same day of their surrender.
