THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10532 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner – accused approaches this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. challenging the charge sheet filed against him in C.C.No.855 of 2007 on the file of the III Additional District Munsif Magistrate, Tirupathy, whereby he is facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 341 and 143 of IPC. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that due to non-supply of water for a period of seven days by the authorities concerned, people gathered and prevented the official from supplying water to the other areas. Learned counsel further submitted that when the supply of water is not given for a period of seven days, it is the bounden duty of the public to raise question to the authorities. But, whereas the respondent-police filed a charge sheet against the petitioner herein. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that it is a point to be raised before the trial Court and the trial Court is also directed to consider these type of cases arising out of grievance of the public. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is also dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and he shall properly be represented through his counsel. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 2nd November 2011 Rns
