IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18938 of 2011 KAUSHLENDRA PRASAD @ KAUSHLENDRA KUMAR, TINKU KUMAR, PINKU KUMAR, PASAN PRASAD @ PAWAN KUMAR, DHIRU KUMAR, RAJU YADAV & KRISHNA PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 16.06.2011. Heard. As may appear from the rejection order passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Sheikhpura the prayer was dismissed only because the petitioners had called the informant by his caste name. It is too well known to be pointed out that merely calling a person by his caste is not an offence under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities)Act unless the act complained of false within the defined offences under Section 3(x)of the Said Act. There being no allegation in that behalf, the court below is directed to consider the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Shekhopur Sarai P.S.Case No.9 of 2011 keeping that observation in mind and further considering that all offences under the IPC are bailable. This petition stands disposed of with the above directions. Let this order be communicated to the court concerned through fax at the cost of the petitioners. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
