This appeal is preferred against the order dated 22.04.2025 passed by the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge SC/ST, Rohtas at Sasaram in Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.2168 of 2025(4) dt.25-11-2025 2/3 connection with Dinara P.S. Case No. 174 of 2024 registered for the offence under Sections 147, 149, 341, 323, 379, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 3(1)(r)(s) of S.C/S.T. (POA) Act by which anticipatory bail filed by the appellants has been rejected. 3. As per the prosecution case, for a trivial dispute over financing, the appellants are said to have assaulted the prosecution side and have abused by taking caste name. 4. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case due to previous enmity and no offence under the provisions of SC/ST Act is made out in this case as the occurrence has taken place because of a trivial dispute and therefore the application of the anticipatory bail is maintainable. 5. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer of the appellant. 6. From the reading of the entire FIR it does not appear that offence has been committed against the informant on the ground that she is a member of SC/ST community and primarily, it appears that for a trivial dispute the occurrence has taken place and therefore, this application for grant of anticipatory bail is held to be maintainable.
