ORDER :

1. This group of Criminal Appeals is filed by the original complainant under Section 14A of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocity) Act, 1989 for quashing and setting aside the impugned orders whereby the Court below was pleased to pass an order under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by granting anticipatory bail to the respective accused persons.

2. All these appeals are arising out of the very same incident and complaint and are filed for quashing and setting aside the respective orders passed by the Court below for grant of anticipatory bail. Learned advocates appearing for the respective sides have requested to take up all these Criminal Appeals conjointly and decide the same by passing a common order since the substantial issues are same on facts and law and as such, upon this request made by respective learned advocates appearing for both the sides, the Court has taken up the appeals for hearing by treating Criminal Appeal No.143 of 2020 as a lead matter and for sake of convenience, since the very same incident has given rise to all these Criminal Appeals, facts are taken from the lead matter, i.e. Criminal Appeal No.143 of 2020.
