THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.18359 of 2009 DATED:15.09.2009 Between: K.Esteru Rani. ..... PETITIONER And The Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Eluru, West Godavari District, And others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.18359 of 2009 ORDER: According to the petitioner she gave a complaint against respondent No.4 alleging offences punishable under the provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, but the Police filed charge sheet for the offences punishable under Section 376 IPC only and the matter was committed to sessions and numbered as Sessions Case No.469 of 2008. Hence, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the Police to incorporate/include the provisions of Section 3(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act also in the said Sessions Case. 2. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home. 3. In my considered view, this Writ Petition is misconceived, and a direction as prayed by the petitioner cannot be given by this Court. If the petitioner has any grievance, she can as well approach the competent criminal Court and file the complaint, on the basis of which, the competent criminal Court will exercise its jurisdiction. 4. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (T.GOPALA KRISHNA, J) 15th September, 2009 vs
