THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22699 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to direct the respondents not to arrest the petitioner before, and after, filing the charge sheet in F.I.R.No.45 of 2011, dated 18.05.2011, registered under Sections 323, 354, 506 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and Section 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Alternatively, the petitioner requests this Court to permit him to surrender before the Special Court under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Kurnool and, on such surrender, to direct the learned Judge of the Special Court to release him, on the same day, on bail by imposing necessary conditions. 2. On a complaint being lodged, and a crime being registered against the petitioner and others by the third respondent in F.I.R.No.45 of 2011, dated 18.05.2011, the petitioner invoked the jurisdiction of this Court, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, (Cr.P.C.), seeking to have the said complaint quashed. While dismissing the said Criminal Petition (Crl.P.No.4476 of 2011) at the stage of admission, by order dated 15.06.2011, this Court observed that, having regard to the allegations made in the F.I.R., the investigation can go on and, having regard to the fact that the petitioner is 75 years old, he is a retired Head Master of a Government School and is bed-ridden, the police shall take a decision about his arrest only after completion of investigation. 3. The petitioner has now invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking a direction to the police not to arrest him. Reliance is placed on an interim order passed by this Court, in W.P.MP.No.31583 of 2004 and W.V.MP.No.686 of 2005 in W.P.No.24118 of 2004 dated 24.06.2005, to submit that a similar interim order should be passed in this Writ Petition permitting the petitioner herein to surrender before the Special Court and, on such surrender, the Special Court shall consider, on the same day, releasing him on bail by imposing necessary conditions. 4. As noted herein above, the petitioner has already invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and this Court, while dismissing the quash petition, has merely directed the police not to arrest him till completion of investigation. It is not for this Court to sit in Judgment over a co-ordinate bench of this Court albeit under Section 482 Cr.P.C. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the order passed in Crl.P.No.4476 of 2011, the remedy available to him is to question the same in appropriate proceedings before the Supreme Court, and not to file a Writ Petition before this Court seeking a direction to the contrary. Since the petitioner is already protected by the order passed by this Court in Crl.P.No.4476 of 2011 dated 15.06.2011, whereby the police have been directed to take a decision about his arrest only after completion of investigation, I see no reason to entertain this Writ Petition or to grant the relief sought for. 5. The Writ Petition fails, and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J August 11, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22699 OF 2011 August 11, 2011 MD
