    Summary The High Court of Judicature at Bombay, Aurangabad, allowed the pre-arrest bail appeal of four appellants charged under SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and BNS sections for alleged caste-based assault. The court found critical inconsistencies in the prosecution's case: one accused had died in 2016 yet witnesses claimed he participated in the 2025 assault; appellant Pravin was allegedly at two different crime scenes simultaneously; and allegations of caste slurs were vague and unspecific. The court ruled custodial interrogation unnecessary since investigation was nearly complete and no weapons were allegedly used. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
