High Court of Rajasthan Bench at Jaipur disposed of a bail application filed by Prem Devi and Ramjilal Gurjar. The court held that since the Bail Act, 1898 was not in force at the time of the offence, proceedings are governed by Article 438 of the Constitution, leading to refusal of bail due to victimization concerns.
