          himself belongs to Scheduled Caste Community, as such,

          SC/ST Act shall not be applicable on him, on which the

          Leaned Special P.P. submits that in the nature of allegation

          as alleged in the FIR and materials which have transpired,

          the appellant whether he belongs to SC community or to

          any other community is not entitled for anticipatory bail.

          fake Ids on Facebook in the name of Mantu, Akash, Vinit,

          Ahiram, Raju, Ashok and Pankaj and is editing her photo

          with obscene photo and posting on Facebook. Further, fake

          IDs of Ashok also used caste abusive language and fake ID

          of Vinit, Akash and Raju used abusive language and all the

          above IDs are sharing her obscene photo with her face

          further submitted that during the course of investigation the

          materials which transpired do not connect the appellant with

          the offence.

                       6. The learned Special P. P. submits that from

          perusal of the order impugned, it would manifest that during

          the course of investigation, it transpired that the mobile

          number of fake ID Raju is registered in the name of

          appellant which amply demonstrates the involvement of the

          the Court is in complete agreement with the submissions

          made by the learned Special P.P., as such, the Court is not
