It is submitted by the learned counsel that the petitioner is the accused in Crime No.289 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent police, which was registered for the offences under Sections 294 (b), 323 and 506 (i) 324 of IPC r/w Sections 3 (1) (r), 3 (1) (s) and 3 (2) (Va) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and the petitioner submits that he intends to surrender before the learned Special Judge and sought for a direction to dispose of the bail application on the very same day in Crime No.289 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent.

If the petitioner surrenders and files bail application, the learned Special Judge is directed to dispose of the same as per law as expeditiously as possible preferably on the same day by giving notice to the prosecutor and on hearing both sides.

The learned Special Judge is directed to consider and dispose of the same on hearing both sides on the basis of merits and as per law.

6. With the above direction, the Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
