IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15310 of 2009 KANHAIYA KEDIA @ KANHAIYA PRASAD KEDIA & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 6.5.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. No doubt the allegation leveled against the petitioners is not serious in nature for bail and the parties have compromised also but one of the allegations is about abuse in name of caste to humiliate constituting an offence under section 3(i)(x) of S.C./S.T.(Prevention of Atrocities) Act in which anticipatory bail is not maintainable. Accordingly, petitioners’ prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dalsingsarai, Samastipur in Dalsingsarai P.S.Case No.8 of 2008 within one month and seek for regular bail which shall be decided on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
