It is alleged that when A-1, A-2 and wife of A-1 with support of A-3 to A-8 were constructing pucca houses, witnesses Nos.10 to 14 questioned them for such construction in a disputed site and that thereupon all the accused abused them as Mala bitches in the name of their caste by holding sticks, pushing them and chasing them. The allegation of the above utterances are general in nature and not with reference to each and separate accused. In any event, I do not find any valid grounds for quashing proceedings in P.R.C.No.47 of 2009. 2. It is stated that non-bailable warrants are pending against the petitioners. 3. In the result, the petition is dismissed.
