CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Crl.M.C. No. 787 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 22-02-2008 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 to 3 of Karunagappally Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and Section 294 (b) read with Sec. 34 I.P.C. seek to quash Annexure I F.I.R. 2. It is too early to consider that the averments in the F.I.R. do not make out the offences alleged. F.I. R. cannot be the sole basis for the prosecution in a case. I am therefore not inclined to quash the F.I.R and stay the proceedings. In case, the case ends in a charge-sheet against the petitioners and the charge sheet does not contain sufficient grounds to proceed against the petitioners, they can very well approach the appropriate forum for the redressal of their grievances. Suffice it to say that in case, the petitioners surrender before the J.F.C.M. Karunagappally, and apply for bail they shall be released on bail on appropriate conditions. This Crl.M.C. Is disposed of as above. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
