IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18651 of 2011 SAHNAJ @ SHAHNAWAJ @ ZAFARUL HUSNAIN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 16.6.2011 After having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the state, the court finds no merit in the present petition on account of the very bar contained in section 18 of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of atrocities) Act. However, there is a direction issued to the petitioner by the learned Sessions Judge to surrender and pray for regular bail and that direction is reiterated by this court with a further direction to the court before whom the petitioner or other order accused persons may surrender, to consider the defence of the accused persons of land dispute and earlier dispute on that account without being prejudiced towards the preferring of anticipatory bail petition. The petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation/direction. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
