THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4962 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 6/A-2 to A-7 are accused of offences punishable under Section 324 IPC and Section 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. It is alleged that one of the accused caught hold of the defacto complainant/second respondent and the other accused beat him with stick, hands and legs caused bleeding injuries on his face etc. It is further alleged that A-1 to A-7 abused him in the name of his Madiga caste and insulted him. By order dated 27-04-2010 in Criminal Petition No.3575 of 2010, this Court (P. Swaroop Reddy, J) granted bail to A-1 and A-2. On reading of F.I.R. in this case it is evident that the allegations raised questions of fact which this Court may not be in a position to decide in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. I do not find any valid or legal reasons to quash F.I.R. at its threshold. It is contended that all the accused put together would not have abused the second respondent in the name of his caste. In the result, the petition is dismissed. The petitioners 2 to 6/A-3 to A-7 also may not be arrested during investigation and until filing of charge sheet. _____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J October 20, 2011 PN THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4962 of 2010 October 20, 2011 PN
