Mr.N.B.Patil, APP for State. Shri Kadam, Adv., h/f Mr. G.G.Suryawanshi, Adv., for respondent no. 2. ... CORAM: A.H.JOSHI AND A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATE:OCT., 3rd, 2011 1. Heard. 2. At the end of hearing, learned Advocate for the petitioner expressed concern about inability to get anticipatory bail as the offence is registered under Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and consequent loss of liberty in the event of arrest and delay in getting bail. 3. We find that the contents of the complaint do contain narration as to utterances referring to the caste of the 2 CRI.APL.NO.17956 complainant. Petitioner has, however, pointed out that since it was an incident which, allegedly, occurred in the field and while its factuality is disputed, the question remains whether it was really in the public view. In the background of the complaint of the respondents, which is shown to be debatable, interests of justice will be served if the petitioner is granted protection against arrest and investigation is permitted to proceed. 4. In view of the above direction given by us, learned Advocate for the applicants prays for liberty to withdraw the application. 5. We, therefore, direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners be released on bail on furnishing personal bond and solvent surety in the sum of Rs. 2,000/-, each. 6. The application is permitted to be withdrawn with liberty as is available in law. (A.R.JOSHI) (A.H.JOSHI) JUDGE JUDGE ... agp/1796-11crapl
