IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34441 of 2009 CHOTE PRASAD SINGH, S/o late Ramcharitra Singh, resident of village-Karhi,P.S.- Arer,Dist.-Madhubani. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 18-11-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that this case is result of inimical relation of the petitioner with Mukhiya Awadhesh Singh to whom this complainant works. According to the learned counsel petitioner had filed Benipatti(Arer) P.S.Case No.23/2005 against the present Mukhiya and for that only he succeeded to get lodged this case by filing complaint petition otherwise also abuse in the name of caste while preventing performance of worship has been alleged may not be serious at all but maintainability of the offence is involved here. I am also of the view that the allegation entitles the petitioner for bail but only in regular side. Offence is concerned with the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, which is not maintainable here. Accordingly, this petition for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below in connection with Complaint Case No.1512/2008, Tr.No.3251/2008 and pray for regular bail which shall be decided on the same day taking into consideration and observation made above.
