Order
26/08/2021
Learned Public Prosecutor has submitted copy of notice. As
per that copy of notice, service upon respondent No.2 has
completed. Despite service, none appears on behalf of respondent
No.2.
The instant appeals have been filed under Section 14A(2)
SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act on behalf of the appellants,
who are in custody in connection with FIR No.104/2021, Police
Station Pokaran, District Jaisalmer for the offences under Sections
143, 323, 365 & 342 of I.P.C. and Sections 3(1)(R), 3(1)(S) &
3(2)(va) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against the
order dated 02.08.2021 passed by the Special Judge, SC/ST
(Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Jaisalmer, whereby, the bail
application preferred under Section 439 Cr.P.C. on behalf of the
appellants was rejected.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
material available on record.
Learned counsel for the appellants stated that appellants
have falsely been implicated in this case; that in the FIR, there is
no allegation of quarrel as well as abusing the complainant party;
accused-appellants are in judicial custody since 29.07.2021;
Lastly, learned counsel has submitted that all these aspects have
(3 of 3)
[CRLAS-724/2021]
not at all been examined by the learned trial Court while rejecting
the bail application of the appellants.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the appeals but does
not controvert the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the
appellants.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into
account all the facts and circumstances of the case, I feel
persuaded to set aside the impugned order.
Consequently, the instant appeals are allowed. The impugned
order dated 02.08.2021 passed by the Special Judge, SC/ST
(Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Jaisalmer is set aside. It is
ordered that the accused-appellants, (1) Devi Singh S/o Shri Nimb
Singh,(2) Manohar Singh S/o Shri Kishor Singh,(3) Bharat Singh
S/o Shri Prahlad Singh, and (4) Bhawani Singh @ Bhanu Singh
S/o Shri Bhagwan Singh, arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.
