THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION No. 9232 of 2010. ORDER: Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner filed a complaint petition on 25.6.2010 under Section 190 and 200 Cr.P.C. alleging commission of the offence under Section 3 (i) (x) of SC & ST (POA) Act, 1988 against the 1st respondent, before the learned I Additional Munsif Magistrate, Ongole and that the learned Magistrate is neither proceeding to take cognizance of the offence under Section 190 Cr.P.C. nor forwarding the same to the police for investigation and report under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. and therefore the petitioner is constrained to file the present petition. The action of the learned Magistrate in not taking any action on the complaint petition filed by the petitioner is highly objectionable and therefore he is directed to take necessary steps for taking congizance of the offence or forward the same under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. for investigation and report, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the criminal petition is allowed. _____________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J 01.10.2010. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION No. 9232 of 2010.
