Although, provisions of appeal has been made but it still emanates from an order of refusal of bail by Special Court under Section 439 of CrPC. Original statutory source of Section 439 is still intact. Only difference is replacement of concurrent jurisdiction with appellate jurisdiction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The Court reiterated the legislative intent of the amendment enforced in 2016 and said that, the very objective of it was Speedy Trial and Protection of Victim\u2019s Rights. It further elaborated the definition of Victim under the Atrocities Act in comparison with the definition stated under Section 2(wa) CrPC. Furthermore, the Court acknowledged the Victim\u2019s right to appear before the Court at the time of hearing of bail application as enshrined under the said Act. With respect to intent and objectives of the Act, the Court placed reliance on, <strong><em>Provision of Section 14-A, SC\/CT (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015<\/em><\/strong> (Allahabad HC, Criminal Writ and Public Interest Litigation No. 8\/2018) and<em> <strong>Bishveshwar Mishra v. <\/strong><\/em><strong><em>State of Bihar<\/em><\/strong> (Patna HC, Criminal Miscellaneous No. 25276\/2016<strong>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Furthermore, the Court relying upon the case of <strong><em>Puran v. <\/em><em>Rambilas, <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/2Js3345P\">(2001) 6 SCC 338<\/a>, held that the High Court being the superior court has inherent powers to cancel the bail and no interpretation which restricts these powers or nullifies Section 439(2), CrPC can supersede. Reflecting upon the Mischief Rule of Interpretation, the Court highlighted four principles that must be considered for true interpretation of any statute: (i) What was the common law before making of the Act, (ii) What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide, (iii) What remedy the Parliament has resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Commonwealth and (iv) The true reason of the remedy.<\/li>\n<li>The court further cited<em>, <strong>Mallikarjun Kodagali v. <\/strong><\/em><strong><em>State of Karnataka,<\/em> <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/lsk769Fe\">(2019) 2 SCC 752<\/a>, elaborating on <em>secondary victimization<\/em> of the complainant, the term as coined by the Supreme Court;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u201c<em>&#8230; today, the rights of an accused far outweigh the rights of the victim of an offence in many respects. There needs to be some balancing of the concerns and equalising their rights so that the criminal proceedings are fair to both.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Regarding the application of procedural laws in case of two special laws, for instance, POCSO and Atrocities Act, as in the present case, the Court said that provisions of POCSO Act are in addition and not in derogation of the provisions of any law including Atrocities Act. Since the victim is a minor girl, almost a child, and the objective of POCSO Act is to protect children from sexual offences, the Special Court under POCSO Act would be the appropriate forum rather than the Special Court under Atrocities Act.<\/li>\n<li>With respect to issue (iv), the Court said, against the order of Special Court (POCSO Act), application under Section 439 CrPC for bail shall be maintainable instead of appeal under Section 14-A(2) of the Atrocities Act.<\/li>\n<li>Discussing the scope and extent of bail conditions under Section 437(3) of CrPC, the Court said that it has a wider scope to cover community service and other reformative measures, not being \u201c<em>excessive, freakish and onerous\u201d<\/em> in nature. For concluding the same, reliance was placed upon Report Nos. 36, 47, 156, 268 of the Law Commission of India and as reflected in the particular judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of <strong><em>Munish Bhasin v. <\/em><em>State (NCT of Delhi), <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/8iMXRlNT\">(2009) 4 SCC 45<\/a>, and <strong><em>Sumit Mehta <\/em>v.<em> State (NCT of Delhi), <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/J25LOY1v\">(2013) 15 SCC 570<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Decision<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While deciding the question of jurisdiction and grant of bail, the Court directed the office to place this matter before the Acting Chief Justice of the High Court for issuance of necessary guidance and for circulation amongst District and Sessions Judges for information and compliance. It further said,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cWhen an accused is being tried under the Atrocities Act as well as the POCSO Act simultaneously, then Special Courts under POCSO Act shall have the jurisdiction and if in the event that any bail application of accused is allowed or rejected under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. by that Special Court then appeal shall not lie under Section 14-A (2) of the Atrocities Act. Only an application under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. for bail shall lie.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The true reason for the remedy is to provide speedy justice to the victims and for the provisions to act as a deterrent to the miscreants. The right of victims to approach the High Court in case of bail condition should not be violated to defeat the very spirit of the SC\/ST Amendment Act in 2015.[Sunita Gandharva v.
