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 learned Special District and Sessions Judge for PCR case Dindigul, to consider the petitioner's bail application, preferably on the same day of their surrender in connection with Crime No. 376 of 2018 on the file of the 2nd respondent and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2

CRL.O.P (MD) No.7424 of 2022 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.
