Mr.Amit Chaudhary waives service of notice of admission for
respondent No.2 and places on record affidavit on behalf of

ordered to be taken on record.

2. This criminal appeal is filed u/s 14A of the Scheduled
Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocity) Act, 1989
(for short, the “Atrocity Act”) against the order dated
01.02.2019 passed by the learned 4th (Ad-hoc) Additional

61 of 2018 with Umreth Police Station, Anand for the offences

3. Having considered the submissions made at bar and
considering the allegations made in the FIR, impugned
judgment and affidavit of the complainant i.e. respondent No.2
herein, present appeal deserves consideration.

4. So far as case under the provisions of Section 3 of the
Atrocity Act is concerned, necessary averment that the
appellants are not the member of Scheduled Caste or
Scheduled Tribe is lacking from the FIR and in similar
circumstances, in Gorige Pentaiah Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh
and others reported in (2008) 12 SCC 531, the FIR itself was
quashed. Even otherwise, the appellants ought to have been
considered for bail. Therefore, non-consideration has resulted
into miscarriage of justice. The impugned order, therefore,
cannot be sustained and the same is quashed and set aside
and the appellants are ordered to be admitted to bail.

5. In the result, present criminal appeal is allowed and the
impugned order dated 01.02.2019 passed by the learned 4 th
(Ad-hoc) Additional Sessions Judge, Anand in Criminal Misc.
Application No.143 of 2019 is hereby quashed and set aside.
The appellants are ordered to be enlarged on bail on each
furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with surety of like amount on
the following condition that the appellants shall:-

[a] not take undue advantage of liberty or misuse liberty;
[b] not act in a manner injurious to the interest of the
prosecution;

[c] not leave the territory of India without prior
permission of the Sessions Judge concerned;
[d] appear before the Investigation Officer concerned, as

6. The competent authority will release the appellant only if
the appellant is not required in connection with any other
offence for the time being.
