This petition is filed for a direction to direct the learned Additional District Court No. III, (PCR Court) Madurai to consider the petitioner bail application on the date of their surrender in respect of Crime No. 609 of 2021 on the file of the respondent police.

2. In view of the specific bar under Section 18 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and also taking into consideration the possibility of misusing the pious intention of the Parliament against innocent persons, there shall be a direction to the Additional District Court No. III, (PCR Court) Madurai , to consider the petitioner's bail application, preferably on the same day of their surrender in connection with Crime No. 609 of 2021 on the file of the 2nd https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2

Crl.O.P.(MD) No.5609 of 2022 respondent and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after affording due opportunity to the victim under Section 15(a) of the SC/ST Act. The petitioners shall surrender before the concerned jurisdictional Court within a period of fifteen days from the date of the receipt of a copy of this Order.

3. It is needless to say that the Court below while disposing the bail petition shall look into the gravity of the offence, previous antecedents of the petitioner and pass orders. Mere direction issued by this Court to consider the bail petition on the same day does not amount to consider it favourably.

4. With the above direction, the Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of.
