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 SC/ST (POA) 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 II Additional District Judge (PCR), Tirunelveli, to consider the bail application of the petitioner on merits and pass appropriate order on the same day of her surrender. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
