THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.7096 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition is filed by the petitioners - Accused 1 and 2, under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in S.C.No.171 of 2008 on the file of the Special Court for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes at L.B.Nagar, Ranga Reddy District. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The petitioners are the mother-in-law and father-in-law of the de facto complainant. The complainant married their son against their will and she belongs to Scheduled Caste. The case of the complainant is that after she entered her in-laws’ house, she was ill treated for the reason that she belongs to scheduled caste and even her parents-in-law went to the extent that they will not drink the water touched by her and would not consume anything in the house, where she lives and they did not allow her to live in the house. These allegations prima facie would definitely constitute offences under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities) Act (for short ‘the Act’). Hence, the trial Court is directed to frame appropriate charges on the basis of material on record and not on the basis of the sections of law mentioned in the charge sheet. However, observations in this order shall not influence the trial Court in the disposal of the main case. 4. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ___________________ P.
