The petitioner seeks a direction to the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge (PCR), Theni to release the petitioner on bail, on the same day in the event of his surrender and filing bail application in Crime No.69 of 2015 pending investigation on the file of the respondent police.

2. The petitioner is accused for offences punishable under Sections 147, 294(b), 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 3(1)(r) (s) 3(II)(a) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (POA) Amendment Ordinance Act, 2014.

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 (POA) Amendment Ordinance Act, 2014, and that taking into custody of the petitioner pending consideration of his bail application could cause him irreparable hardship, this Court considers it appropriate to direct the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge (PCR), Theni, to consider the bail application of the petitioner on merits and pass appropriate order on the same day of his surrender.
