Summary: The Karnataka High Court allowed the criminal appeal and granted anticipatory bail to six accused persons charged under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The court found that the complaint lacked prima facie evidence of the offense under Section 3(1)(s) of the Act, as the alleged incident was only witnessed by one person (Shivaraj) rather than members of the general public, and the complaint appeared to be part of a continuing family property dispute rather than a genuine atrocity case. The court exercised discretionary power to grant bail despite Section 18's bar, finding the accusations devoid of merit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
