The only non bailable offence was the one under Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The learned Public Prosecutor after taking instructions submits that the investigation has made much progress and in the course of investigation it has been realised that there is no substance in the allegation raised under Section 3 of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The said offence has now been deleted. The petitioner shall not be arrested on that allegation, asserts and undertakes the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. All other offences alleged are only bailable offences and in the light of the submissions of the learned Public Prosecutor, I do not find any merit in the apprehension of the petitioner that he may be arrested alleging that he has committed non bail offences. 3. The petitioner can appear before the Investigating Officer or the learned Magistrate and claim regular bail under Section 436 Cr.P.C. His apprehension is found to be unfounded. 4. This bail application is dismissed with the above observations. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
