DATE : 14th JANUARY, 2016 ORAL ORDER :- Perused F.I.R. The complaint contains all the allegations requiring registration of offence punishable u/s 3 (i) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Learned counsel's contention that the complainant did not mention in his F.I.R. that he belongs to Scheduled Caste, is not tenable. 2.
