JUDGMENT :
MANISHA BATRA, J.
1. The instant appeal has been filed Section 14-A (2) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (For short “SC/ST Act”) challenging the order dated 12.06.2025 passed by the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Hisar in case arising out of FIR No.207 dated 10.04.2024 registered under Sections 147 , 149, 323, 325, 452 and 506 of IPC and Section 3(1) (r), (s) of SC/ST Act at Police Station Hansi City, District Hansi, whereby an application for grant of regular bail as filed by the appellant-accused had been dismissed.
2. Brief facts of the case relevant for the purpose of disposal of this appeal are that on 07.04.2024, the respondent No.2-Gurudayal was present in the labour room of his factory wherein he had installed a saw machine and was taking rest, when the appellant along with co-accused and 2-3 unknown persons reached there and opened an assault upon him with sticks, rods and iron pipes. To save himself, he rushed out in the street but the assailants threw a brick upon him due to which he fell down. Thereafter they caused injuries to him with the respective weapons that they were carrying in their hand
The application of SC/ST Act provisions to a member of Scheduled Caste accused of assault requires careful consideration of specific allegations and the status of the accused.
Bail - Attempt to Murder - Nature of injuries, detention period, having no criminal antecedents, and no likelihood of tampering of prosecution entitled for bail
Anticipatory bail can be granted if no prima facie case is established under the SC/ST Act, as per the ruling in Dr. Subhash Kashinath Mahajan v. State of Maharashtra.
