IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30989 of 2009 BHAGI SINGH @ BHAGIRATH SINGH,son of Tilak Singh,resident of village-Chhotpal,P.S.- Chakai,Dist.-Jamui. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 05-11-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. I do not agree with the submissions made on behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner that no offence under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act is made out as it was committed in the field if the same was not supported by several witnesses examined by the Investigating Officer that is not at all mandatory. Only single witness is sufficient to corroborate the allegation, otherwise allegation is clear and specific about abuse in the name of his caste in the field to humiliate. As such, this application is not maintainable. Accordingly, this petition for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, petitioner may pray for regular bail after surrender in the court concerned. AH/ ( Mandhata Singh, J. )
