HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4488 of 2010 O R D E R: The petitioners 1 to 4/A.1 to A.4 are accused of offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 307/149 IPC and Section 3(i)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Attrocities) Act, 1989. It is alleged that when the injured was going to the meeting of Chiranjeevi, A.1 to A.4 attacked him with sticks and knives and that the accused also abused him in the name of his Madiga caste and questioned as to why he required politics. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that the accused also belong to scheduled caste. Only one certificate relating to Paleti Venkata Ramakrishna Maheswara Rao is filed. None of the petitioners is having the said name. It is also contended that the de facto complainant/injured is not a person belonging to scheduled caste and that he is a person belonging to backward community. A private certificate said to have been issued by the Tahsildar, Agiripalli is filed as office copy in that regard. It is not an authenticated copy. It is a question of fact as to which castes the injured and the de facto complainant belong to. It is for the Investigating Officer to come to a conclusion on that aspect after collecting evidence from the authorities concerned. This Court cannot look into the said question of fact in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. There are no grounds in law to interfere with the investigation of this case at its threshold. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Dt. 17th October, 2011. PNV
