In view of the specific bar under Section 18 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and also taking into consideration of the possibility of misusing the pious intention of the Parliament against innocent person, there shall be a direction to the District and Sessions Court, Tiruvallur, to consider the petitioner's bail application, preferably on the same day of his surrender in connection with Crime No. 449 of 2024 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, after affording due opportunity to the victim under Section 15(a) of the SC/ST Act. The petitioner shall surrender before the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.O.P.No.5163 of 2025 concerned jurisdictional Court within a period of fifteen days from the date of the receipt of a copy of this Order. 3. It is needless to say that the Court below while disposing the bail petition shall look into the gravity of the offence, previous antecedents of the petitioner and pass orders.

With the above direction, the Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of. 25.02.2025 Index : Yes/No Neutral citation : Yes/No Speaking/non-speaking order Lpp https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.O.P.No.5163 of 2025 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J.
