for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 379, 504, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code as well as Sections 3(1)(r) (s)(w) of the SC/ST Act.

¶18

3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant, at the outset, submits that from perusal of the allegations as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that a prima facie offence under the SC/ST Act is made out. It is next submitted that informant alleges that he had gone asking for his remaining wages of Rs. 4,700/- when appellant No. 1 and appellant No. 2 abused the informant by taking his caste name at Teenmuhani (crossings) and assaulted him with slippers, shoes, fist and slap and thereafter appellant No. 2 assaulted with broom and appellant No. 1 assaulted with knife on head causing cut injury on his temple and again assaulted with knife on neck causing injury on his shoulder and spat on informant’s face and took his cycle of Rs. 2000/-. It is further submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that the assault took place at a crossing which is a public place and thus the occurrence took place in public view.

¶19

4. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants submits that appellants have been falsely implicated in the instant case and the present case has been instituted at the

behest of a learned advocate Amit Kumar Singh, who is agnate of the appellants, on which the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant submits that the submission is farfetched.

¶22

5. Considering the submission made by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the appellants.

¶23

6. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
