PSO SIRPUR.) ________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoramda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders of directions Court's or Judge's orders. and Registrar's Orders. ______________________________________________________________________________ Shri V.B.Gawali, Advocate for Applicant. Shri O.D.Kakde, A.P.P. for Respondent. CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATED : APRIL 01, 2009. 1. This is an application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing F.I.R. No.11/09 dated 05.03.2009 for the offences punishable under Sections 3(1)(xi) of the S.C.S.T. Prevention of Atrocities Act, Sections 307, 354, 427, 147, 148, 149 of the Penal Code and Section 7(1)(d) of the Protection of Civil Rights Act. The F.I.R. shows that on the incidental day the applicant, along with nine other co-accused, charged at the house of the complainant, who belonged to Scheduled Caste, assaulted him and set his house on fire. In the process they also uttered caste based abuses and one of the accused also held hands of Usha. 2. It cannot be said that, on the face of it, F.I.R. does not disclose offences, which have been registered 2 against the applicant. The F.I.R. just marks the beginning of the investigation and unless it is shown that on the face of it the F.I.R. does not disclose commission of offence, alleged, it would not be permissible to quash the F.I.R. 3. The application is, therefore, rejected. 4. The learned counsel for the applicant requests that his client should be granted protection till the applicant files application for bail before the Sessions Court. 5. This is virtually seeking same relief in different words, hence, leave refused. JUDGE RR..
