THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12492 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Crime No.94 of 2011 of Nandivada Police Station, Krishna District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 354, 379, 506 and 323 IPC and 3 (i) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. 2. Heard. 3. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that nowhere it is specifically stated that the petitioners abused the complainant by touching the name of the caste. It is further submitted that false allegations are made against each and every individual, that the record clearly indicates that the complainant does not belong to SC community; that the continuation of proceedings against the petitioners is nothing but abuse of process of law and hence he prays to allow the petition. 4. Considering the facts and also the offence is punishable for less than 7 years, the concerned police are directed to complete the investigation of the case and file final report either way without arresting the petitioners. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ______________ RAJA ELANGO, J December 03, 2011.
