This criminal appeal under Section 14A (1) of The Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short 'Act, 1989') has been filed on behalf of the appellants challenging the summoning order dated 10.10.2017 passed in Case No.4242 of 2017 (State vs. Raja Ram and others) arising out of Case Crime No.166 of 2017 under Sections 323, 504 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 3(1) (da) of SC/ST Act, Police Station-Paikoliya, District-Basti, whereby the appellants have been summoned under the aforesaid sections.
Learned counsel for the appellants contended that no offence is made out against the appellants and they have been falsely implicated in the present case.
Per contra, learned A.G.A., contended that there is no infirmity or illegality in the impugned order passed by the learned trial court.
From the perusal of the material on record and looking into the facts of the case, at this stage it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the appellants.
Accordingly, I find no infirmity in the impugned order passed by the trial court and as such, this appeal stands dismissed.
However, none of the aforesaid offences against appellants is punishable with imprisonment for more than seven years. The police has submitted charge-sheet. All the materials relevant for disposal of bail application is available on record before trial court/court concerned.
Accordingly, in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court and in view of the order passed by this Court in the case of Smt. Sakeena and another v. State and another reported in 2018 (2) ACR 2190, it is directed that in case the appellants file their bail application and also pray for interim bail, their prayer for interim bail shall be considered and decided on the same day and the regular bail shall be decided thereafter by affording an opportunity of hearing to the victim or his/her dependent as per the mandate of Section 15A (5) of Act, 1989.
For a period of 60 days from today or till the appellants surrender and apply for bail, whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against them.
