1 S.B.Criminal. Misc. Bail Application No.2995/2007 (Dharam Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan) Date of order : July 04, 2007 HON'BLE MR.H.R.PANWAR,J. Mr.M.S.Panwar, for the petitioners. Mr.Ashok Upadhyaya, Public Prosecutor. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the Public Prosecutor for the State. Apart from other offences i.e. under sections 420, 467, 468,471 and 120-B I.P.C., the offence under section 3(1)(iv) of the S.C. & S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short `the Act of 1989') has been levelled against the petitioners. Section 18 of the Act of 1989 takes away the power of the Court to grant anticipatory bail under section 438 Cr.P.C. and on this premise, the trial court dismissed the bail application filed under section 438 and in my view the trial court was justified in dismissing the bail application. Keeping in view the fact that section 18 of the Act of 1989 takes away the application of section 438 Cr.P.C., I do not 2 consider it a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The bail application filed by the petitioners under section 438 Cr.P.C is dismissed. (H.R.PANWAR),J. m.asif/-
