    Summary The court granted anticipatory bail to five accused persons charged under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and other serious offenses. The judge found that no prima facie case was established against the petitioners, as the allegations appeared to stem from an underlying civil dispute over land ownership rather than genuine atrocities. The court noted the inordinate delay (4+ months) in filing the complaint and determined that the statutory bar on bail under Section 18/18A of the SC/ST Act did not apply where no prima facie case exists, citing Supreme Court precedent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
