THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1058 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in F.I.R.No.175 of 2010 on the file of Koyyalagudem Police Station, West Godavari District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 3 (1) (x) of SC/ST (POA) Act, 1989. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that earlier the petitioners lodged a complaint on 29.12.2010, on the basis of which FIR.No.174 of 2010 of Koyyalagudem Police Station was registered, and subsequently, as a counterblast to the said FIR No.174 of 2010, the present crime is registered against the petitioners. The said contention clearly indicates that there was an occurrence as alleged by the complainant herein. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners never abused the complainant by taking the name of his caste, therefore, the present complaint is a false complaint. After hearing the submissions of the learned counsel and going through the contents of the entire material placed before this Court, this Court is of the view that the matter needs to be investigated by the Investigating Officer. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. This criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 11.03.2011 v v
