    Case Summary The Jharkhand High Court allowed the criminal appeal and granted anticipatory bail to Lalji Yadav, holding that the lower court committed grave illegality in rejecting bail based on Section 18 of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The court found that essential ingredients of Section 3(1)(s)—specifically, the informant's SC/ST status and the occurrence at a public place—were not established in the FIR, thus no prima facie case existed under the Atrocities Act. The appellant was granted bail of Rs. 25,000 with conditions to appear before the investigating officer and not disturb the informant. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
