The applicant has prayed for anticipatory bail in C.R.No.66/2008 of Ratnagiri city police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence under sections 3(1)(x) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocity) Act,1989, 7(1)(d) of the Protection of Civil Rights Act,1955 and 506 of Indian Penal Code. 2. I have heard Mr Dhakephalkar, learned senior counsel for the applicant and Mr.Saste,learned APP, for the respondent. Mr Dhakephalkar, at the outset, submitted that if the applicant is grante protection till 1.12.2008 he is prepared to surrender before the concerned court and apply for regular bail and in that case directions may be issued to the concerned court to dispose of his application for regular bail on the very same day or atleast grant interim bail to the applicant till disposal of that application. Mr Saste, learned APP, has not seriously opposed the submissions made by Mr Dhakephalkar. In the circumstances, I pass the following order. 3. The application is disposed of, as not pressed. The applicant shall not be arrested in connection with C.R.No.66 of 2008 of Ratnagiri City Police Station till 1.12.2008. It is open to the applicant to surrender before the concerned court and, after his surrender, apply for regular bail. The Sessions Court shall consider an application for regular bail, that will be filed by the applicant as far as possible on the very same day. If for any reason, it is not possible for the court to dispose of the application on the date of his surrender, the applicant shall have a liberty to apply for interim bail till disposal of the application. It is needless to state that it is always open to the concerned police station to call the applicant for interrogation, if they so desire. With these observations, the application is disposed of.
