BANJARIYA,DISTRICT- EAST CHAMPARAN……………………………… PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR……………………………… OPP.PARTY ----------- 2 19-4-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel appearing for the State. Petitioners have prayed for anticipatory bail in a case which involves offences under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities ) Act and some minor offences of the I.P.C. It has been submitted that bar to the grant of anticipatory bail under the aforesaid Act will not be attracted because the alleged offences had taken place at a lonely place and even that allegation is false. It is not possible in this case to hold that offences under the S.C./S.T.Act are not attracted and hence the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. This order shall not prejudice the case of the petitioners if they surrender and their prayer for regular bail shall be considered appropriately keeping in view the observation made by the learned Sessions Court.
