IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH:: HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT:: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.P.No.5696 OF 2010 Between: Pathakamuri Yerra Kondaiah @ Pathakamuri Kondaiah …Petitioner A n d The State of A.P., Rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another ..Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.P.No.5696 OF 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash further proceedings against the petitioners/A-1 & A-2 in Cr.No.17 of 2010 of Lingasamudram Police Station, Prakasam District. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the record. 3. On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent, police registered the above case against the petitioners/A-1 and A-2 and another for the offences under Sections 447, 427, 509 and 34 IPC and Section 3(1)(xi) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short ‘the Act’). 4. A perusal of the complaint would disclose that the alleged abuse of the complainant in the name of caste was only by the 2nd petitioner/A-2. There is no allegation to the effect that the 1st petitioner/A-1 also abused the complainant in the name of caste. The alleged offence under Section 3(1)(xi) of the Act is, therefore, not attracted insofar as the 1st petitioner/A-1 is concerned. Insofar as the other alleged offences are concerned, allegations are made against both the petitioners/A-1 and A-2 and another, and truth or otherwise of the same can come out only after due investigation. 5. In the circumstances, having regard to the nature of the offences alleged, it is considered not a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C and quash further proceedings in pursuance of the F.I.R in Cr.No.17 of 2010 in respect of the offences under Sections 447, 427, 509 and 34 IPC against the petitoners/A-1 and A-2 and Section 3 (1) (xi) of the Act against the 2nd petitioner/ A-2. However, further proceedings insofar as the 1st petitioner/A-1 for the offence under Section 3(1) (xi) of the Act are concerned, they are liable to quashed and they are accordingly quashed. 6. Subject to the above, the criminal petition is disposed of accordingly. ____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 20th October, 2011 Lrkm
