Opposite Party ------- Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant. The sessions court has observed that in view of bar provided in Section 18 of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, it is not possible to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Considering all the facts and circumstances, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, there is substance in the submission advanced on behalf of the petitioners that allegations are superfluous and in that view of the matter, it is observed that prayer of the petitioners for regular bail should be considered expeditiously, preferably on the date of surrender itself without being prejudiced by this order.
