THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10837 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner-Accused approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against her in C.C.No.22 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Shadnagar, Mahabubnagar District, for the offences punishable under Sections 504 and 506 I.P.C. Heard. The second respondent-defacto complainant filed a complaint before the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Shadnagar, Mahabubnagar District, under Section 200 Cr.P.C. against the petitioner for the offences under Sections 504 and 506 I.P.C. and Section 3(i) (x) of S.C. and S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The learned Magistrate after recording the sworn statement of the defacto-complainant took cognizance of the case against the petitioner, only for the offences under Sections 504 and 506 I.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no allegations in the sworn statement recorded by the Magistrate attract any of the offences under which the petitioner was charged. This Court perused the complaint and also the sworn statement of the defacto-complainant. In the said sworn statement, the allegations made by the defacto-complainant against the petitioner are as follows: “Then she started abusing me in the name of my caste in the presence of the said persons, stating that she would not cooperate in granting patta in my favour. As such I approached the police to complain the matter to them, but the police did not take any action”. These are all the words deposed by the defacto-complainant. The said evidence does not attract any of the offences under which the petitioner was charged. Hence, this Court is of the view that the present complaint be quashed. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No. 22 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Shadnagar, Mahabubnagar District are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dt.05.11.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10837 of 2011 Dt. 05.11.2011
