THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5096 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 Heard the Petitioners’ counsel and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2 The Petitioners are accused in Cr.No.89 of 2011 of C.K.Dinne Police Station, Kadapa. The offences alleged are those punishable under sections 326 and 506 r/w 34 of IPC and under section 3 (1) (X) of S.C & S.T (POA) Act, 1989 (For short ‘the Act’) 3 The learned counsel for the petitioners elaborately argued about the non applicability of Section 3 (1) (X) of the Act to the allegations in the F.I.R and pleaded for quashing the FIR in view of the principle laid down by the apex court in Gorige Pentaiah Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh and others[1]. It is not necessary to go into this question now. 4 It may be noted that the allegations in the FIR do show the offences of causing hurt by dangerous weapon and also criminal intimidation for which sections 326 and 506 of IPC can be applied. Overt acts are also attributed to these two petitioners. In these circumstances, having regard to the offences punishable under sections 326 and 506 r/w 34 of IPC, I am of the opinion that there is no ground for interfering in this matter. 5 The learned counsel for the petitioners, however, relied upon, as already mentioned supra, the aforementioned decision of the apex court regarding the applicability of Section 3 (1) (X) of the Act. The concerned police may keep in view the legal position laid down in the said case while investigating into the matter. 6 This petition is accordingly dismissed. ------------- 27.06.2011 Kvsn [1] (2008) 12 Supreme Court Cases 531
