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) Act, 1989 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 I Additional District and Sessions Court / Special Court for SC./ST Act, Trichy, to consider the bail application of the petitioners on merits and pass appropriate order on the same day of their surrender. 5.The petition is ordered accordingly.
