¶26

These present criminal appeals under Section 14-A of the Scheduled Castes & the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act have been filed in connection with FIR No.220/2024 registered at Police Station Kunhari, District Kota City for the offence under Section(s) 341, 323, 324, 307 & 34 of IPC and Section(s) 3(2)(v) & 3(2)(va) of SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

¶27

It is contended by learned counsels for the appellants that they are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in these cases. They also submit that accused-appellants have been in judicial custody since long and the conclusion of the trial will take long time, hence the appellants may be enlarged on bail.
