IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32462 of 2010 FAGU SINGH & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 28.10.2010 Heard the counsel for the petitioners namely Fagu Singh, Umesh Singh @ Karu Singh who apprehend their arrest in connection with S.C./S.T.-P.S. (Munger) Case No.44/2010 registered under Section 341,323, 504, 427,327 and 34 of I.P.C. and 3(x) of S.C./S.T. Act. Also heard learned counsel for the state. It appears from perusal of the FIR that the alleged occurrence took place on two different dates. On 01.5.2010 the younger brother was assaulted and abused by the petitioner as well as by other accused whereas on 03.05.2010, the informant was assaulted, humiliated and abused by the petitioners and also he was relieved of rupees one thousand by the petitioners and their associates. It appears from perusal of the record that the instant case was lodged on 10.05.2010 but much prior to that petitioner no.3 had lodged Barhiya P.S. Case No.56/2010 against the informant and other persons. 2 So far as the application of provisions of S.C./S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act is concerned, the same appears to be doubtful and apart from section 379, almost all the Sections are bailable in nature. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail petition is allowed. In the event of arrest/surrender, the petitioners namely, Fagu Singh, Umesh Singh @ Karu Singh shall be released on bail furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lakhisarai subject to condition as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. PN/AKV ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
