THALE SUJIT SANTOSH vs THE STATE OF GUJARAT Advocate - P M TRIVEDI — 169/2026

Court Decision Summary The 5th Additional Sessions Judge, Ahmedabad, rejected the anticipatory bail application of 19-year-old Sujit Santosh Thale in an alleged atrocity offense case. The court found a prima facie case against the applicant based on CCTV footage showing his presence at the incident scene and his own admission of inflicting a fist blow on the complainant. The statutory bar under Section 18(A) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 prevented the court from granting pre-arrest bail, and the parity argument citing co-accused bail was rejected as legally inapplicable.
