IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18296 of 2011 SATISH KUMAR SINGH @ GUDDU SINGH, DEVENDRA SINGH @ PINKU SINGH AND SHAILENDRA SINGH @ DEEPU SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 13.06.2011. Head. All offences under the IPC being bailable, the contention is that the one under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act is not constituted on the bare perusal of the FIR. The observation of the learned Sessions Judge has been refuted by making submissions that mere utterances of a word against the particular persons does not lead towards the constitution of an offence under the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Let the three petitioners surrender in the court below, i.e., Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bagaha, West Champaran in Bagaha P.S.case No.153 of 2011 and pray for regular bail and the court shall consider that mere calling a person by his caste name is not sufficient to constitute an offence under Section 3(x)of the concerned Act unless facts are alleged to show that there was an 2 intent to humiliate such a member of the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes and that humiliation was heaped in public view in the public place and the court below shall admit the petitioners to bail as and when they surrender before him. With the above observation, this petition is disposed of. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
