IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.809 of 2009 GAYATRI DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 11.8.2010 KHAN The petitioner has challenged the investigation by an officer below the rank of Dy.S.P. in a case instituted under the SC/ST Act. It appears that the State Government in exercise of its power conferred under section 9 of the SC/ST Act has issued a notification authorizing the Inspector, Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police to investigate the case arising out of SC/ST Act. This court in the case of Ram Bilash Singh Vs State of Bihar, reported in 2002(4) PLJR 464 has observed that in view of the said notification, the Inspector, Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police can investigate the case arising out of SC/ST Act. In this view of the matter, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw this application. This application is permitted to be withdrawn. (S.P.Singh,J)
