Learned counsel submits that petitioners had preferred a similar petition before Additional Sessions Judge, Palwal. However, same was rejected on the ground that section 18 of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 would operate as a bar.

Under the circumstances, this petition is disposed of and petitioners are relegated to the remedy of seeking regular bail before the trial court. In the eventuality, petitioners move an application for bail within ten days from today, same shall be decided within a week thereafter.

Arrest of the petitioners shall remain stayed till the decision of the bail application.
