Summary The Principal District & Sessions Judge, Udupi allowed the anticipatory bail petition of Krishna Poojary, who was accused under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and various BNS sections involving allegations of financial fraud, threats, and outraging of modesty. The court found sufficient clouds over the truth of allegations, noting they appeared rooted in a financial dispute over a loan rather than genuine atrocity offenses, and concluded that despite the statutory bar on bail under the SC/ST Act, granting bail would advance justice. The petitioner was granted bail on Rs. 5,00,000 with standard conditions including cooperation with investigation and appearance before the IO within 20 days.
