Considering the nature of offences alleged against the petitioners, the fact that anticipatory bail cannot be granted in respect of the offences punishable under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Ordinance Act, 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 the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge No.I, Chengalpet, to consider the bail application of the petitioners on merits and pass appropriate orders on the same day of their surrender.
