SC/ST Act | Anticipatory Bail Permissible for Private Residence Incidents Without Public Humiliation : Patna HC

Patna High Court rules that offences under Section 3(i)(x) of the SC/ST Act require an element of public humiliation, absent in private residence incidents. The court granted anticipatory bail, emphasizing police cooperation under Section 41(A) CrPC and the lack of casteist abuse in a private setting, setting a precedent for bail in similar cases.
