RAO NALLA CRIMINAL PETITION No.8996 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner-complainant in Crime No.60 of 2010 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class at Srikalahasti, Chitoor District, filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking a direction from this Court to refer the case to C.B.C.I.D. for investigation. 2. The brief facts are that on 18.4.2010, one Kameshwar and his followers trespassed into the agricultural fields, where the petitioner was working as watchman, and damaged boundaries by removing fencing stone pillars. When the same was questioned by the petitioner, they abused him in his caste name and also assaulted him. These all happened in Ramalingapuram, Srikalahasthi Mandal. The petitioner was removed to hospital as he suffered bleeding injuries at the hands of Kameshwar and his followers. That subsequently he was shifted to Area hospital in the evening on the same day and, as such, the matter was referred as Medico Legal Case and it was informed to S.H.O. of Rural Police Station, Srikalahasti. The second respondent - Sub Inspector was on duty in the Police Station at that time as S.H.O. The second respondent reached the hospital and recorded the statement of petitioner at 9.00 p.m. After knowing the recording of the statement of the petitioner by the second respondent, Kameshwar and his followers approached the second respondent and managed in getting a false case registered in Crime No.24 of 2010 against the petitioner and the owner of the fields under Sections 323, 506, 341 of IPC and 3(1) (X) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,1989. The second respondent by substituting a different statement in place of the original statement of the petitioner recorded by him on 18.04.2010, registered a case in Crime No.25 of 2010, as if he recorded the statement of the petitioner on 19.4.2010. As such, the petitioner filed a private complaint under Section 200 of Cr.P.C. before the Court of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Srikalahasti and the Court has referred the same to the Rural Police Station, Srikalahasti for investigation and report. The second respondent- Sub-Inspector is hand in glove with Kameshwar and his followers in registering a false case against the petitioner in Crime No.24 of 2010. Therefore, this petition is filed seeking the matter to be referred to C.B.C.I.D. for investigation. 3. It is represented on behalf of the Assistant Public Prosecutor that the prosecution has no objection if the petition is allowed and the petitioner’s prayer is granted. 4. In the circumstances, this Court is of the view that to meet the ends of justice, it is appropriate to refer the matter to the Inspector of Police, Rural Circle Police Station, Srikalahasti instead of referring the matter to C.B.C.I.D. 5. In the result, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Srikalahasti to refer the proceedings in Crime No.60 of 2010 to the Inspector of Police, Rural Circle Police Station, Srikalahasti for investigation and report. ________________ B.N.RAO NALLA,J 20-10-2011 Stp
