HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.6166 of 2011 ORDER:- Heard the learned counsel for petitioners and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The allegations in the FIR do show the offences punishable under Section 323 IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and the Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The learned counsel for petitioners raised various pleas stating that the petitioners and the de facto complainant are strangers and that the case is a foisted one and that the petitioners are innocent. May be the case is a truthful one or a foisted one but that has to be decided on evidence. The various pleas taken by the petitioners are within the purview of disputed questions of fact and hence cannot be gone into in this petition. Accordingly the relief for quashing the FIR is rejected. 3. However, in the circumstances, police are directed to keep in view Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as it stands today before taking a decision to arrest them. 4. This petition is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J 26th July 2011 CVRK Note: Issue copy immediately. B/o cvrk
