IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13937 of 2009 1. BIDYA NAND THAKUR, son of Kailash Thakur 2. SUSHIL THAKUR, son of Ram Pratap Thakur Both residents of Ghosrama, P.S.-Piar, District-Muzaffarpur. ……..Petitioners. Versus The State Of Bihar ……..Opposite Party ----------- 03. 11.08.2009 Petitioners apprehend arrest in Piar P.S. Case No. 75 of 2008 instituted under Sections 323, 379, 341 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(1)(x) of the SC & ST(Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that it is outright a false case and deliberately so lodged. He submits that from the allegations as per F.I.R. itself the abuses have been heard inside a house which is not a public place and therefore, the provisions of SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act will not apply. He further submits that it is highly unlikely that a demand would be made for Rs. 500/- and that is exactly what would be removed from a person’s pocket after the person is beaten up in his own house. Be that as it may, let the petitioners namely 1. Bidya Nand Thakur 2. Sushil Thakur, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, be released on Anticipatory bail - 2 - on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur in connection with Piar P.S. Case No. 75 of 2008 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr. P.C. Shageer (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J)
