* 1 * WP-341-2011 14. Nov. 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI. WRIT PETITION NO. 341 OF 2011 Hashim Mehaboob Akkalkote & Ors. .... Petitioners V/s. State of Maharashtra & anr. .... Respondents Mr. D.V. Sutar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mrs. G.P. Mulekar, APP for the State. CORAM :- Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. 14th November, 2011. P.C. :- 1. This petition challenges the order of issuance of process by the trial court and dismissal of Criminal Revision Application preferred therefrom in Summary Criminal Case No. 1140 of 2011. The process issued by the learned Magistrate is under Sections 323, 354, 504, 506, 509 read with 34 Indian Penal code. The learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that no process could have been issued against petitioners no.4 to 8 by the learned Magistrate for the offences punishable under Sections 354 and 509 Indian Penal Code i.e. for outraging the modesty of women by words, gestures or act intended for the purpose and for assaulting her or using criminal force * 2 * WP-341-2011 14. Nov. 2011 against her for intending to outrage her modesty. He points out that the allegations on this aspect contained in the complaint are only against petitioners no.1 to 3. 2. The present petition has been filed by all the accused persons for quashing of the proceedings contending that the complaint is vague and does not make out any specific allegations against the petitioners. It does not assign specific roles to the petitioners in the allegation of assault. The learned APP points out that in the incident alleged, all the eight petitioners had been brutally assaulting the complainant and it is difficult to state the specific role of each of the petitioner in the matter of assault. 3. I have perused the complaint and I find substance in the submissions advanced by the learned APP. In that circumstance, since the complaint as filed, prima-facie makes out the case of assault and criminal intimidation, in my opinion, this is not a fit case for quashing of the proceedings. As regards the grievance of issuance of process under Sections 354 and 509 read with 34 Indian Penal Code, the petitioners may agitate their contention at the appropriate time before the trial Court. The petition is dismissed. [SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J]
