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 persons, there shall be a direction to the Special Sessions Judge for SC/ST, Kallakurichi, to consider the petitioners' anticipatory bail application, preferably on the same day of his surrender in connection with Crime No.453 of 2025 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The petitioner shall surrender before the trial Court within a period of fifteen days from the date of the receipt of a copy of this Order. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 3. It is needless to say that the Court below while disposing the anticipatory bail petition shall look into the gravity of the offence, previous antecedents of the petitioner and pass orders. Mere direction issued by this Court to consider the anticipatory bail petition on the same day does not amount to consider it favourably. 4. With the above direction, the Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of. 12.09.2025 kmm Internet:Yes Index:Yes/no Speaking/Non speaking order To 1.
