O R D E R

This Criminal Original Petition is filed to direct the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Salem, Salem District to consider the petitioner's bail application on their surrender on the same day in Spl.S.C.No.25 of 2018 pending trial. 2.In view of the amendments made in the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, this Court is of the view that the usual directions that were issued by this Court cannot be issued routinely in all cases. Therefore, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the trial Court within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on such surrender, the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Salem, Salem District, shall deal with the matter on the same day on merits and in accordance with law, after issuing notice to the victims under Section 15-A (3) of the SC/ST Act. It makes it clear that without going into the merits of this case, this Court is inclined to dispose the matter and it is for the trial Court to decide the case on its own merit.
