IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18877 of 2011 DR. NOOR ALAM KHAN @ NOOR ALAM KHAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 16.06.2011. Heard. This petition for anticipatory bail is disposed of with the direction to the petitioner to surrender and pray for regular bail before S.D.J.M.(West), Muzaffarpur in Kanti P.S.Case No.36 of 2011 which shall be considered by the court below keeping in its mind that the complainant had filed the written in his official capacity and that a public office is known not to carry any caste or religion. A public servant is a public servant as defined under Section 21 of the IPC and on account of being such public servant he ceases to belong to any particular caste. As such, the FIR ought not have been lodged under any provision of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities)Act. The petition, as noted above, stands disposed of with the above observations. Let this order be communicated to the court concerned through fax at the cost of the petitioner. B.Kr.
