CORAM : D.D. SINHA, J. DATED : OCTOBER 8, 2009 Heard Shri Sambre, learned Counsel for the applicant, Shri Deshpande, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent no.1, and Shri Gupta, learned Counsel for the respondent no.2. As per earlier decision of this Court in Manohar Martandrao Kulkarni and another v. State of Maharashtra and others (2005 (4) Mh.L.J. 588), unless the complainant mentions his name in the first information report, offence under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act could not be registered. However, the said legal position no longer exists in view of decision of the Full Bench in Pushpa Vijay Bonde 2 vs. State of Maharashtra (2009 (3) Mh.L.J. 489). In the circumstances, cause of action in the criminal application no more survives. The criminal application is disposed of. JUDGE khj
