THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3150 of 2009 BETWEEEN: G.Narasimha Prasad, S/o.G.V.Narsaiah … Petitioner AND 1. J.Venkatesh, S/o.Bheemaiah & another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3150 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner/A4 along with three others are accused of offence punishable under Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. It is alleged that on the instigation of A4, the other A1 to A3 abused the 1st respondent- de facto complainant in the name of his Madiga Caste. It is contended that A4 did not utter anything against the 1st respondent in the name of caste. But the allegation is that he was instrumental and supported and instigated A1 to A3 to commit the offence. Therefore, I do not find any reasons to quash FIR in this case at its threshold. 2. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the Investigating Officer is directed not to arrest the petitioner/A4 during investigation and until filing of final report/charge sheet. _____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J Dated: 10.03.2011 ysk THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3150 of 2009 DATED: 10.03.2011 ysk
