IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11939 of 2009 1. NAGDAN RAUT 2. Amar Raut 3. Opin Raut 4. Bipin Raut 5. Langad Raut 6. Ramyash Raut All S/o late Lalji Raut Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ------ 2/ 21.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that there was land dispute in between the parties for which they have been involved in this false case making the allegation for the offence under Section 3(X) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of atrocities) Act. There is no mention at all about the presence of any outsider save and except the informant and accused persons. The parties have settled their differences by filing the compromise petition. If the compromise in an offence and statement of witnesses can help petitioners anyway, that can be taken into consideration by the Court where the case is pending. No relief can be awarded to the petitioners due to non-maintainability of the anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioners is rejected. However, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the Court below within a period of one month where all the discussed points shall be liberally taken into their favour without 2 being prejudiced by the present order. With the above observation, the application is disposed of. shail (Mandhata Singh,J.)
