For the Appellants : Mrs. Nitu Sinha, Adv.

....
05/29.04.2026
1. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned A.P.P.
2. The present appeal has been filed under Section 14-A of the Scheduled
Castes/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
3. The present appeal is directed against the order dated 19.06.2025
passed by the learned Special Judge (SC/ST Court), Sahibganj in A.B.P. No.312
of 2015 in connection with SC/ST Case No.67 of 2023 arising out of
Radhanagar P.S. Case No.01 of 2023, registered for the offence under Sections
341/ 343/ 307/ 379/34/ 504 & 506 of IPC and Sections 3(1)(r)(s) of the SC/ST
(Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 whereby and whereunder the prayer of the
appellants for grant of anticipatory bail has been rejected.
4. It appears that earlier the anticipatory bail of the appellants were
rejected vide order dated 09.04.2024 passed in Criminal Appeal (S.J.) No.215 of
2023. The order reads as under:-
“Heard the parties.
Appellants are apprehending their arrest in connection with
Radhanagar Case No. 01 of 2023, for the offences registered under
Sections 341, 343, 307, 379/34, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and
Sections 3(1)(R)(S) of the SC/ST Act, pending in the court of Sri Dheeraj
Kumar, learned Special Judge (SC /ST Court), Sahibganj.
Appellants alongwith co-accused are said to have assaulted the
informant, who is a member of the scheduled caste community. It is
2026:JHHC:12589alleged that he was paraded naked in the village and the accused persons
also threatened him of dire consequences, if he filed any case against
them.
Considering the nature of allegation; no case for grant of
anticipatory bail is made out. Accordingly, I am not inclined to release
the appellants, on bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail stands rejected.
Appellants, if so advised, may surrender before the learned court
below and pray for regular bail.”
5. Thus, it has been rejected on the ground that Section 18 of the
Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Act gets attracted and the anticipatory bail
is not maintainable as the offence clearly disclose the prohibitory mandates of
Section 18 of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (PoA) Act.
6. Considering the nature of crime and the fact that the anticipatory bail
application of the appellants have already been rejected, I am not inclined to
enlarge the appellants on anticipatory bail.
7. Accordingly, instant criminal appeal stands dismissed.
8. In view of the above order, I.A. No.16623 of 2025 filed for condoning
the delay in filing the present appeal also stands rejected.
