1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR. O R D E R Kheem Singh & Anr. Versus State of Rajasthan. S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No. 56/1998 against the order dated 18-12-1997 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Nawa City, district Nagaur, in Criminal Original Case No.119/96. ... Date of Order: August 04, 2006 PRESENT Mr. K.C. Sharma, for the petitioners. Mr. Ashok Upadhyaya, Public Prosecutor for the State. BY THE COURT: By the instant criminal miscellaneous petition under Section 482 Cr. P.C., the petitioners have challenged the order dated 18-12-1997 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Nawa City, district Nagaur (for short, “the trial Court” hereinafter), whereby the trial Court took cognizance of the offence under Section 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 against the petitioners. I have carefully gone through the impugned order passed by the trial Court taking cognizance for the aforesaid offence against the petitioners. From the impugned order, it appears that prima facie there are sufficient grounds for proceeding against the petitioners and, therefore, the trial Court was justified in taking cognizance of the aforesaid offence 2 against the petitioners. No case for interference in the impugned order is made out. The criminal miscellaneous petition filed by the petitioners is, therefore, dismissed. (H.R. PANWAR), J. mcs
