       Dated: 21\/11\/2008<\/p>\n
:       Judgment<\/p>\n
    APPLICATION UNDER SECTION 438 OF THE CODE OF CRIMINAL
\n                         PROCEDURE.\n<\/p>\n
\n                         (O R D E R)
\n                         (21.11.2008)<\/p>\n
     This application has been filed for anticipatory bail as<\/p>\n
the  applicants are apprehending their arrest  in  connection<\/p>\n
with  Crime No. 87\/2008 registered at police station  Rajpur,<\/p>\n
District  Sarguja for the offences punishable under  sections<\/p>\n
323, 506, 353 and 186 the Indian Penal Code and section 3 (1)<\/p>\n
(10)  of  the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention<\/p>\n
of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short the Act).<\/p>\n
2.   Case of the prosecution in brief is that on 1.8.2008 the<\/p>\n
applicants went to the office of Janpad (Vikas Khand)  Raipur<\/p>\n
and  threatened  the complainant Prem Sai  Paikra  who  is  a<\/p>\n
member  of  Scheduled Tribe category and also  beat  him  up.<\/p>\n
Complaiant was examined by the doctor who did not notice  any <\/p>\n
physical injury on his body.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3.    Counsel for the applicants submits that the complainant<\/p>\n
is  posted as a Programme Office on contract basis under  the<\/p>\n
Rojgar  Guarantee Scheme. One Bhrihunath Shrivastava  who  is <\/p>\n
also  posted  in  the  said  office  confronted  one  of  the<\/p>\n
applicants  as to why he was misusing the money  allotted  to<\/p>\n
him   for  the  Rojgar  Guarantee  Scheme.  Complainant  also<\/p>\n
intervened  and  began  abusing  the  applicants   and   also<\/p>\n
threatened and assaulted them and the report was also  lodged<\/p>\n
by the applicants.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
4.    On  the  other  hand  counsel for the  respondent\/State<\/p>\n
opposes  the  application for anticipatory bail  and  submits<\/p>\n
that the complaint prima facie shows that the applicants have<\/p>\n
insulted the complainant who is a member of Scheduled  Tribe,<\/p>\n
and therefore, they are not entitled for anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n
5.    In  the  instant  case, the offences  punishable  under<\/p>\n
sections 323, 506, 353 and 186  of the Indian Penal Code  and<\/p>\n
section  3  (1) (10) of the Act have been registered  against<\/p>\n
the applicants. Application for grant of anticipatory bail in<\/p>\n
terms  of  Section  438 of the Code is  sustainable  for  the<\/p>\n
offences punishable under the Indian Penal Code. The only bar<\/p>\n
is  created  under  Section 18 of the  Act  for  the  offence<\/p>\n
punishable under Section 3 (1) (10) of the Act. While dealing<\/p>\n
with  the  applicability of section 438 of the Code  for  the<\/p>\n
offence  punishable under section 3 (1) (10) of the  Act,  in<\/p>\n
the  matter  of  State  of M.P. and another  v.  Ram  Krishna<\/p>\n
Balothia  and  another 1 it has been held by the  Apex  Court<\/p>\n
that  Section 438 of the Code does not form an integral  part<\/p>\n
of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Section 18 of the<\/p>\n
Act  denying  the application of provisions for  anticipatory<\/p>\n
bail  to  those  accused under the Act,  cannot  be  said  as<\/p>\n
violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n
6.    Provision of Section 438 of the Code is a general  rule<\/p>\n
for  granting anticipatory bail but bar of anticipatory  bail<\/p>\n
under  Section 18 of the Act is an exception to  the  general<\/p>\n
rule. In case of any exception the prosecution is required to<\/p>\n
show  prima  facie the facts which attract  the  bar  in  the<\/p>\n
general rule. Without there being any material to this effect<\/p>\n
it  cannot  be  said that the person concerned would  not  be<\/p>\n
entitled  for  anticipatory  bail  as  he  has  been   merely<\/p>\n
described as accused by the Police for committing an  offence<\/p>\n
punishable  under the provisions of the Act.  There  must  be<\/p>\n
material  available  on record to show  that  the  person  is<\/p>\n
involved in the offence punishable under the provision of the<\/p>\n
said  Act.  While dealing with the application under  section<\/p>\n
438  of  the  Code,  the  Court is required  to  examine  the<\/p>\n
material collected by the prosecution or the complainant  and<\/p>\n
if  the  Court finds prima facie sufficient material for  the<\/p>\n
commission of the offence under the Act, then the bar created<\/p>\n
under  Section 18 of the Act comes into play and  it  is  not<\/p>\n
competent to grant bail under Section 438 of the Code. But if<\/p>\n
it  does  not  find any such material against  the  applicant<\/p>\n
under  the  provisions of the Act, then it  is  competent  to<\/p>\n
consider the application filed under Section 438 of the Code.<\/p>\n
Merely by mentioning section of the Act does not create a bar<\/p>\n
for  considering  the application under Section  438  of  the<\/p>\n
Code.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
7.   As held in the case of Satya Prakash (supra) at the time<\/p>\n
of  examination of the material, the Court is required to see<\/p>\n
whether the FIR or the complaint discloses the commission  of<\/p>\n
offence punishable under the provisions of the Act. The Court<\/p>\n
is required to see the FIR or the complaint in its face value<\/p>\n
and  at  this  stage it is not necessary for  it  to  closely<\/p>\n
examine  or  scrutinize the material available on  record  in<\/p>\n
order  to ascertain the veracity of the allegations  made  in<\/p>\n
the  FIR  or the complaint. In the case of Somesh Das (supra)<\/p>\n
it  has  been held by this Court that if on the face  of  the<\/p>\n
record  it raises doubt about the genuineness of the  FIR  or<\/p>\n
the  complaint and that there was an earlier dispute  between<\/p>\n
the   parties,  it  may  be  inferred  for  the  purpose   of<\/p>\n
entertaining the application under Section 438  of  the  Code<\/p>\n
that the complainant or the prosecution could not be able  to<\/p>\n
collect  the  prima facie material against the applicant.  In<\/p>\n
the  case of Abdul Abbas (supra) it has been held that if the<\/p>\n
intention of humiliation to the member of the Scheduled Tribe<\/p>\n
is not discovered from the FIR, application under section 438<\/p>\n
of the Code is maintainable.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
8.    While  dealing with insult in respect of  a  member  of<\/p>\n
Scheduled  Caste community, in the matter of Swarn Singh  and <\/p>\n
others v. State through Standing counsel and another 2 it has<\/p>\n
been  held  by  the Apex Court calling a member of  Scheduled<\/p>\n
Caste  “chamar” with intent to insult or humiliate him  in  a<\/p>\n
place   within  the  public  view  is  certainly  an  offence<\/p>\n
punishable  under  Section 3 (1) (10) of  the  Act.  Relevant<\/p>\n
portion reads thus:\n<\/p>\n
     “Para  25:  A  perusal of the FIR clearly  shows
\n     that,  prima  facie,  an  offence  is  made  out
\n     against  appellants 2 and 3. As  already  stated
\n     above,  at this stage we have not to see whether
\n     the  allegations in the FIR are correct or  not.
\n     We  only  have to see whether treating  the  FIR
\n     allegations as correct an offence is made out or
\n     not. In our opinion, treating the allegations in
\n     the  FIR  to be correct an offence under Section
\n     3(1)(x)  of  the  Act is prima  facie  made  out
\n     against  Appellants  2 and 3  because  it  prima
\n     facie  seems  that the intent of the  appellants
\n     was  to insult or humiliate the first informant,
\n     and this was done within the public view.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Thus  from  the above-cited decision it is clear that  prima<\/p>\n
facie  commission  of offence has to be seen  from  the  FIR<\/p>\n
treating the allegations contained in it to be correct.<\/p>\n
9.    Taking into consideration the rival contentions of the<\/p>\n
parties  and  the  fact that case and the counter  case  was<\/p>\n
registered  between the parties, I am of the  view  that  at<\/p>\n
this  stage, the prosecution has not collected any  material<\/p>\n
against  the applicant to prima face show that the applicant<\/p>\n
has  committed the offence punishable under section 3 (1)(x)<\/p>\n
of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
10.   Consideration  for  bail is  different  from  that  of<\/p>\n
framing  the  charge  or making out  the  case  against  the<\/p>\n
applicant  for  trial  even if strong  suspicion  is  there.<\/p>\n
Therefore, in the light of the above discussion and the  law<\/p>\n
laid  down by the Apex Court in respect of entertaining  the<\/p>\n
application under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. in  the  matter<\/p>\n
of  offences relating to the Act, 1989, I am of the  opinion<\/p>\n
that it is a fit case in which the benefit of Section 438 of<\/p>\n
the  Cr.P.C.  should  be extended to the accused\/applicants.<\/p>\n
Accordingly,  the application is allowed. It is,  therefore,<\/p>\n
directed   that   in   the   event   of   arrest   of    the<\/p>\n
accused\/applicants namely Sanjay Singh and Upendra Gupta  if  <\/p>\n
they  furnishes a personal bond of Rs. 10,000\/- each with  a<\/p>\n
surety  in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting<\/p>\n
Officer, they be released on bail.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
11.   The  applicants  shall make themselves  available  for<\/p>\n
interrogation by a police officer as and when  required  and<\/p>\n
shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat<\/p>\n
or  promise to any person acquainted with the facts  of  the<\/p>\n
case  so  as to dissuade them from disclosing such facts  to<\/p>\n
the  Court or to any police officer. This order shall remain<\/p>\n
effective for a period of two months from today. During this<\/p>\n
period the accused\/applicants may apply for regular bail.<\/p>\n
12.   Trial  Court shall not be influenced  by  any  of  the<\/p>\n
observations  made  in  this  order  and  shall  proceed  in<\/p>\n
accordance with law.\n<\/p>\n
