THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31031 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning failure of the respondents, in including offences under Section 3 of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short, “the Act”) in F.I.R.No.483 of 2011 dated 05.08.2011 though the complaint given by the petitioner, a member of the Scheduled Castes, referred to the physical and verbal abuse against him in the name of his caste, as arbitrary and illegal. As rightly contended by the Learned Counsel for the petitioner, the written complaint given by the petitioner shows that he was physically abused, and was also abused in the name of his caste. The F.I.R. does not, however, include offences under Section 3 of the Act. Learned Government Pleader for Home would submit that, in the interregnum, a charge sheet was filed in C.C.No.1984 of 2011 before the IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Kukatpally, Miyapur. If that be so, the remedy which the petitioner has is to approach the competent Criminal Court in this regard, and seek inclusion of the offences under Section 3 of the Act in the charge sheet on the basis of the material on record, or to have an investigation caused thereinto. Leaving it open to the petitioner to do so, the Writ Petition is closed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J November 29, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. by 03.12.2011 B/O.MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31031 OF 2011 November 29, 2011 MD
