When the matter is called out for hearing,<\/p>\n<p>     none appeared for the applicants. This matter was listed<\/p>\n<p>     for final hearing on 13.11.2009. When the matter was<\/p>\n<p>     called out, none appeared for the applicant. To give one<\/p>\n<p>     more opportunity to the counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>     applicants to represent and argue on behalf of the<\/p>\n<p>     applicants, the matter was adjourned today for final<\/p>\n<p>     hearing at 2.30 p.m. Even today, none appears for the<\/p>\n<p>     applicant.   This Court, on 13.11.2009 has made it clear<\/p>\n<p>     that in case none appears for the applicant on the<\/p>\n<p>     adjourned date i.e. today, this Court will proceed to<\/p>\n<p>     decide the application on its own merits and accordingly<\/p>\n<p>     the matter is taken up for final hearing.\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.           Brief facts of the case are as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p>                  The applicants herein have been charge-\n<\/p>\n<p>     sheeted under Section 147, 148, 149, 324, 427 of the<\/p>\n<p>     Indian Penal Code and also under Section 3 (1) (ii) of the<\/p>\n<p>     Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:21:43 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     Atrocities) Act, 1989 (hereinafter referred to as &#8220;the Act&#8221;).\n<\/p>\n<p>     On the basis of report lodged by one Shantabai Anandrao<\/p>\n<p>     Khandekar on 06.11.2004, the applicants were summoned<\/p>\n<p>     made to appear before the trial Court.              They appeared<\/p>\n<p>     before the trial Court and the case came to be fixed for<\/p>\n<p>     framing of charge.\n<\/p>\n<p>     3.          The applicants, on the date of framing of<\/p>\n<p>     charge, moved an application before 1st Ad hoc Additional<\/p>\n<p>     Sessions Judge, Akola under Section 237 of the Code of<\/p>\n<p>     Criminal Procedure 1973 for discharge of the accused<\/p>\n<p>     persons i.e. the applicants, who were charge-sheeted<\/p>\n<p>     under Section 3 of the Act. It was the contention of the<\/p>\n<p>     applicants that the alleged offence cannot be constituted<\/p>\n<p>     against accused person because in the report, there are<\/p>\n<p>     no specifications regarding what abuses are given or by<\/p>\n<p>     whom they are given.        It was further contention of the<\/p>\n<p>     applicants in the said application that if there is no<\/p>\n<p>     mention   of   caste   in       the   First   Information        Report,<\/p>\n<p>     investigation conducted on basis of said report cannot be<\/p>\n<p>     entertained. It was further contended that the said<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                     ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:21:43 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     offence should not have been registered by non applicant<\/p>\n<p>     against the applicants. Therefore, it was prayed that the<\/p>\n<p>     applicants be discharged from the said offence especially<\/p>\n<p>     from offence punishable under Section 3 (1) (ii) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 Non    applicant-State    filed     reply       thereby<\/p>\n<p>     resisting the claim of the applicants and prayed for<\/p>\n<p>     rejection of the application.\n<\/p>\n<p>     4.<\/p>\n<p>                 The learned Special Judge, Akola was dealing<\/p>\n<p>     with the said trial having Sessions Trial No. 12\/2006 and<\/p>\n<p>     was pleased to reject the applciation at Exh.-51 filed by<\/p>\n<p>     applicants for their discharge under Section 3 (1) (ii) of<\/p>\n<p>     the Act. Hence, this application is filed by the applicants.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5.          On perusal of para 9 of the said application,<\/p>\n<p>     the applicants have taken a ground that neither caste of<\/p>\n<p>     the complainant nor the caste of accused was mentioned<\/p>\n<p>     in the report. Therefore, the ratio laid down by this Court<\/p>\n<p>     in the case of Manohar ..vs.. State of Maharashtra<\/p>\n<p>     ALL    MR     (Crimes)        2602,   the      prosecution           is<\/p>\n<p>     unsustainable.    In para 11, it is further stated that it<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:21:43 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     seems that caste is mentioned as &#8220;Buddha&#8221; and it was<\/p>\n<p>     argued before the trial Court that &#8220;Buddha&#8221; is the name<\/p>\n<p>     of religion and not caste. Therefore, it was prayed that<\/p>\n<p>     unless the caste is mentioned in the First Information<\/p>\n<p>     report, the said First Information Report cannot be<\/p>\n<p>     investigated further and no allegation in the said First<\/p>\n<p>     Information Report can be sustained.        In para 13, it is<\/p>\n<p>     further stated that there are no specific allegations in the<\/p>\n<p>     First Information Report and, therefore, provisions of<\/p>\n<p>     Section 3 (1) (ii) of the Act are not attracted.\n<\/p>\n<p>     6.          On careful perusal of the averments made in<\/p>\n<p>     the application, it appears that the only ground taken in<\/p>\n<p>     the application is that caste of accused or complainant is<\/p>\n<p>     not mentioned in the First Information Report and no<\/p>\n<p>     specific allegations are made in the First Information<\/p>\n<p>     Report so as to attract provisions of Section 3 (1) (ii) of<\/p>\n<p>     the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>     7.          The learned A.P.P. for the State invited my<\/p>\n<p>     attention to the contents of the First Information Report<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:21:43 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     and submitted that the allegations in the First Information<\/p>\n<p>     Report clearly attracts provisions of the Act and submitted<\/p>\n<p>     that the trial Court has rightly rejected the application for<\/p>\n<p>     discharge.    Learned A.P.P. invited my attention to the<\/p>\n<p>     reported judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of<\/p>\n<p>     Ashabai      Machindra         Adhagale   ..vs..      State        of<\/p>\n<p>     Maharashtra and ors; (2009) 3 Supreme Court<\/p>\n<p>     Cases 789 and submitted that the point raised in this<\/p>\n<p>     application is no more res integra and the Apex Court in<\/p>\n<p>     the said judgment has held that merely non mentioning of<\/p>\n<p>     the caste of the accused or complainant, as the case may<\/p>\n<p>     be, may not itself be a ground to quash First Information<\/p>\n<p>     Report by exercising powers under Section 482 Code of<\/p>\n<p>     Criminal Procedure.       Learned A.P.P further invited my<\/p>\n<p>     attention to the contents of the First Information Report<\/p>\n<p>     and   submitted    that    this   Court   may     not     exercise<\/p>\n<p>     jurisdiction under Article 482 of the Code of Criminal<\/p>\n<p>     Procedure to quash the First Information Report. I have<\/p>\n<p>     perused contents of the application and provisions of<\/p>\n<p>     Section 3(1) (ii) of the Act.      Section 3(1)(ii) reads as<\/p>\n<p>     under:-\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:21:43 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          &#8220;3.

On careful perusal of the annexures to the<\/p>\n<p>     application, it appears that in pursuance to registration of<\/p>\n<p>     the First Information Report statement of the witnesses<\/p>\n<p>     have been recorded and at the stage when matter was<\/p>\n<p>     fixed for framing charge, the person filed application for<\/p>\n<p>     discharge before the trial Court, which came to be<\/p>\n<p>     rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>     9.          On careful perusal of the complaint\/First<\/p>\n<p>     Information Report it clearly reveals that there was<\/p>\n<p>     assault by applicants on he complainant as well as<\/p>\n<p>     relatives of the complainant. Therefore, bare perusal of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                   ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:21:43 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     the First Information Report would show that the said<\/p>\n<p>     First Information Report is lodged with specific allegations,<\/p>\n<p>     therefore, the first ground taken in the application that<\/p>\n<p>     there are no specific allegations in the First Information<\/p>\n<p>     Report, is required to be rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>     10.          The another contention, which is taken in the<\/p>\n<p>     application that no caste of the applicants or complainant<\/p>\n<p>     is mentioned in the First Information Report, the said point<\/p>\n<p>     is no more res integra and the Hon&#8217;ble Apex Court in the<\/p>\n<p>     case of Ashabai Machindra Adhagale (supra) in para<\/p>\n<p>     10 to 12 has held as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;10.

On bare perusal of para nos. 10 to 12 of the<\/p>\n<p>     judgment of the Apex Court, it appears that the Hon&#8217;ble<\/p>\n<p>     Apex Court has considered the rival contentions and held<\/p>\n<p>     that the First Information Report is not expected to be an<\/p>\n<p>     encyclopedia.

Thus,   what        follows   from    the      aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>     judgment of the Apex Court, it is not mandated in all the<\/p>\n<p>     provisions under the Act that it is mandatory to mention<\/p>\n<p>     caste of the accused or complainant, as the case may be,<\/p>\n<p>     in First Information Report\/complaint.
