Notice upon the complainant has been served. As per report of the learned Public Prosecutor, nobody appears on behalf of the complainant.
This criminal appeal under Section 14-A(2) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (hereinafter to be
referred as 'the SC/ST Act’) has been filed on behalf of the appellant being aggrieved with the order dated 13.01.2022 passed by the Special
Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Rajsamand (hereinafter to be referred as ‘trial court’) in Criminal Misc. (Bail) Case
No.04/2022 whereby, the trial court has dismissed the bail application filed on behalf of the appellant.
The appellant has been arrested in FIR No.201/2021 of Police Station Kelwara, District Rajsamand for the offences punishable under Sections 307,
394, 341, 323, 324 and 120-B of IPC and under Sections 3(2)(v)(va) of SC/ST Act.
Learned counsel for the appellant submits that co-accused person Bhagwat Singh has already been enlarged on bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this
Court in S.B. Criminal Appeal No.1080/2021 on 07.12.2021. It is submitted that appellant has not been named in the FIR and statements of the
injured. The injuries sustained by the injured Kishan Lal by sharp weapon is found simple in nature and the case under Section 307 IPC is not made
out; allegation of robbery is also false. It is also submitted that challan has already been filed; the petitioner is behind the bar since 27.10.02021 and
trial of the case is likely to take time
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the prayer made on behalf of the appellant in this criminal appeal.
Heard learned counsel for the appellant as well as learned Public Prosecutor and also perused the material on record.
From the perusal of the record, it reveals that the injuries sustained by injured Kishan Lal was found simple in nature; petitioner is behind the bar for
last more than four months and charge-sheet has been filed.
Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and
proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellant under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act.
Accordingly, this criminal appeal filed under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act is allowed and the order dated 13.01.2022 passed by the Special Judge,
