IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL STAY APPLICATION NO.3057 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.305 OF 2010 Surendra and three others ……… Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand & two others ……… Respondents Dated: April 30, 2010 Mr. Ajay Veer Pundir, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Amit Bhatt, Addl. G.A. for the State HON. DHARAM VEER, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the First Information Report, which is registered at Police Station Jhabrera, District Haridwar as Case Crime No.60 of 2010 relating to offences punishable under Sections 323, 504 and 506 of IPC and 3(I) 10 S.C./S.T. Act. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material on file. Brief facts of the case are that on 21.4.2010 at 07:00 AM respondent no.3 saw smoke coming out from the back side of his house. He went over the roof of his house and found that Surendra Singh, whose house was adjacent to his house, was blowing fire in his plot. He stopped the petitioner Surendra Singh and asked that his house might also get burn. On this, Surendra Singh hurled abuses and called him Chamaar. Meanwhile, Birendra Singh-brother of Surendra, Sandeep-son of Birendra Singh and Pradep-son of Surendra, armed with Lathi and Ballam by saying him Chamaar starting throwing bricks in his house and in the house of Kadam Singh, due to which his wife Atro Devi received injuries. His brother Deshraj, son Amit and Rajpal, 2 Gaje Singh, Vijaypal, Anup and others of same village arrived at the spot. After that the petitioners went from there by giving them threat of life. With the same averments, the FIR was lodged by Illam Singh (respondent no.3) on 22.4.2010 at 12:35 PM at P.S. Jhabrera. Specific role has been assigned to the petitioners in the F.I.R. Further, the contents of the F.I.R. gets corroboration from the injury report of wife of respondent no.3 Smt. Atro Devi. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioners and that of learned Additional Government Advocate for the State and after going through the contents of the First Information Report, prima facie offences under Sections 323, 504 and 506 of IPC and 3(I) 10 of S.C./S.T. Act are made out against the petitioners. Looking into the seriousness of the allegations made in the First Information Report, I do not find any ground to grant relief to the petitioners at this stage. The writ petition is devoid of any merits and the same is dismissed in limine. (Stay Application No.3057 of 2010 is also dismissed). (Dharam Veer, J.) 30.04.2010 RG
