The instant appeal has been preferred under Section 14 A of the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015 against the order dated 25.01.2025 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge- I-cum- Special Judge, SC/ ST [Prevention of Atrocities Act], Ramgarh, in connection with SC/ ST Case No.01/ 2025 [arising out of Ramgarh P.S. Case No.255 of 2023] for the offence under Sections 302/ 34 and 120B of the IPC and under Section 3 (2) (v) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015 whereby and whereunder the prayer for bail of the appellant has been rejected. It is argued by learned Sr. counsel for the appellant that there is not an independent single witness from the Village who has corroborated the statement of the family members of the deceased that the appellant was seen of crime or he was seen absconding from there. It is also argued that there is no evidence that deceased was legally married wife of the appellant and further he used to reside at 40 Km away from his own village. Appellant is in custody since 14.12.2024. It is also argued that the mandate of concluding trial within two months from the date of submission of charge-sheet has also not been followed Learned A.P.P. has defended the impugned order.
