HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.1901 of 2009 O R D E R: The petitioners 1 and 2/A.1 and A.2 are accused of oﬀence punishable under Section 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Attrocities) Act, 1989 (in short, the Act). Both the parties belong to police families. A.1 was working as woman Constable in Badwel Urban Police Station. A.2 is daughter of A.1. The de facto complainant who is the 5th respondent belongs to Madiga caste, the accused belong to Yadava caste. The 5th respondent came to the police quarters of her sister who is also working as woman Police Constable. It is alleged that when a cock belonging to the accused died, they presumed that the 5th respondent and her family members killed the same and that A.1 and A.2 abused the de facto complainant and his family members in ﬁlthy language and when the 5th respondent asked A.2 not to abuse them, A.2 picked up a stick and tried to beat the 5th respondent, due to which she fell down. It is alleged that A.1 and A.2 abused them in the name of their caste. It is contended by the petitioners-in-person that on the date of oﬀence, A.1 was not available in the village as she went to a Court to attend hearing and that A.2 was on ‘Mounavratam’ after performing Tuesday puja and that false case was foisted against them. Truth or falsity of the case cannot be decided in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. as it is a pure question of fact. It is for the trial Court to decide the same after the prosecution as well as the accused leading their respective evidence during trial. Having regard to allegations in the charge sheet and in the papers ﬁled along with the charge sheet, I do not ﬁnd any grounds for quashing the proceedings in this case. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Dt. 2nd December, 2011. PNV
