THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.32538 of 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents, in deleting Section 307 IPC from the charge sheet filed in C.C.No.114 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chintalapudi, as being illegal and arbitrary. It is the petitioner’s case that initially a complaint was registered under Sections 447, 324, 307, 506(2) read with 147, 149 and 34 IPC; and, during the course of investigation, Section 307 IPC was deleted though the complaint made out such an offence having been committed. All that is stated in the complaint is that accused No.2 had brought accused Nos.1, 3 and 4; he had slapped the petitioner on both his cheeks, and had threatened him with dire consequences; the accused had formed into an unlawful assembly armed with deadly weapons; and, during the course of the scuffle, the petitioner had sustained injuries. The affidavit is silent with regards the nature and extent of the injuries caused to the petitioner. In any event, since a charge sheet has already been filed, the remedy, if any, for the petitioner is to approach the Magistrate concerned, and satisfy him that the material on record discloses commission of the offence under Section 307 IPC. Leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs.
