Orders
Case Summary The High Court of Bombay at Aurangabad allowed the appeal and quashed the pre-arrest bail granted to respondents 2 and 3 in an SC/ST atrocities case, holding that Sections 15-A(3) and (5) of the SC/ST Act are mandatory. The trial court failed to provide notice to the victim/informant or give him an opportunity to be heard before granting bail, violating his statutory rights. The court directed that any future bail application must include hearing the victim beforehand, while extending protection to the accused until April 30, 2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
