IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42697 of 2008 1. MANGAL CHOUDHARY S/O LATE CHHATHU CHOUDHARY, R/O VILL & P.S. KARGAHAR, DIST. ROHTAS. ---------PETITIONER Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. HANS LAL DOM S/O LATE GYAN CHAND DOM, R/O KARGAHAR,SAMRI DIST. ROHTAS ----------- OPP. PARTIES 04. 10.04.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 341,323,427 and 34 of the Penal Code and Section 3(x) of S.C/S.T.( Prevention of Atrocities Act). Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that going by the allegations contained in the F.I.R. the offence punishable under Section 3(x) of the S.C/S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities Act) may not be applicable in this case and other Sections are bailable. This court finds that abuse in the name of caste was made in presence of the residents of the locality as it is apparent from a bare perusal of the F.I.R. It is further submitted that the informant of the case has already died and the son of the informant is prepared to compromise the case. Be that as it may, going by the allegations, this court is not inclined to give indulgence in favour of the petitioner. Petitioner may appear in the court below and apply for regular bail, which shall be considered on its own merit without being 2 prejudiced by the present order passed by this court in this case. The application is accordingly disposed of. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
