ORDER
The petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.852/2023 Irinjalakkuda Police Station which was originally registered for the offences punishable under Sections 354 and 354(A)(1) of IPC. Today when the matter came up on consideration, the learned Public Prosecutor upon instructions submitted that the offences under Sections 3(1)(w)(i), 3(2)(v)(a) of Scheduled casts and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act were also incorporated. Since the offences under SC/ST Act have been incorporated, the anticipatory bail application, cannot be entertained by this Court as
held by this Court in Basheer v. Rajani [2022(5) KLT 352]
In such circumstances, this application is closed without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to invoke appropriate remedies. Sd/- ZIYAD RAHMAN A.A. JUDGE scs
