AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court allowed the appeal and set aside the order rejecting anticipatory bail. The Court held that since the FIR contained no caste slurs against the informant, the SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act did not apply. The appellants were granted anticipatory bail subject to furnishing bonds within four weeks.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order rejecting anticipatory bail is set aside and the appellants are granted anticipatory bail on the condition of furnishing bonds within four weeks of arrest or surrender.
