    Case Summary: Criminal Appeal 496/2025 Court Decision: The High Court of Judicature at Bombay (Nagpur Bench) allowed the appeal and quashed the anticipatory bail granted to respondents Kaduji Vithoba Kute and Prakash Vithoba Kute. The court found that Section 18 of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 creates a bar against granting anticipatory bail in cases involving caste-based abuse in public view, which the trial court had failed to consider. Key Facts & Reasoning: The respondents allegedly abused the appellant with caste-related slurs at a public bus stop in the presence of Gram Panchayat officials and witnesses. The court, relying on the precedent in *Kiran v. Rajkumar Jivraj Jain*, held that such public caste-based abuse triggers statutory bail restrictions. Though the respondents later cooperated with investigation and charges were framed, the court directed them to surrender before the Investigating Officer and permitted them to file regular bail applications thereafter. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
