IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7438 of 2000 BHULAN SINGH & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 4/ 1.7.2010 Heard Shri Amish Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and also Shri Dashrath Mehta, learned APP for the state. From a bare reading of the allegations made in the complaint petition, there does not appear any statement of fact which could indicate that the accused persons were intending to heap insult upon the complainant and with such intention, humiliated him at a public place in view of the public. These are the ingredients which are required to constitute an offence under section 3(x) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (prevention of atrocities) Act. There being a complete absence of allegation and supporting material as regards the order of summoning dated 19.2.2000 passed in Complaint Case No. C I 122 of 2000 by the learned C.J.M., Vaishali at Hajipur, the same cannot be sustained so far the order relates to Section 3(x) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (prevention of atrocities) Act. That part of the order is quashed. As regards other part of the order summoning the accused persons for committing other offences, the order is left undisturbed. The petition is partly allowed.
