THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.11062 OF 2010 DATED: 02-11-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., seeking to quash proceedings in Cr.No.160 of 2010 on the file of the Station House Officer, Amangal police station, Mahabubnagar. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners-A1 to A3. None appeared for the respondents. Perused the record. 3. On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein a case in Cr.No.160 of 2010 is registered against the petitioners-A1 to A3 under Section 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. 4. A perusal of the complaint would disclose that specific allegations have been made against the petitioners to the effect that on 24-10-2010 at about 1.00 p.m., petitioners came upon the house of the complainant and abused the complainant and his wife in filthy language by taking the name of the caste of the complainant. Investigation is still pending. The truth or otherwise of the said allegation has to be ascertained only after the investigation is completed. In view of the specific allegations made against the petitioners, prima facie attracting the ingredients of the offence alleged against them, it is considered not a fit case to quash the investigation in pursuance of the First Information Report in Cr.No.160 of 2010. It is well settled that inherent power under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. has to be exercised with care and caution. There are no valid or justifiable grounds to invoke the inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. in the present case. 5. In the result, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 08th November, 2010 Tsy
