ORDER

This petition has been filed seeking to quash the Spl.S.C.No.3 of 2021 on the file of the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, (PCR Court), Madurai.

2.The Primordial contention of Mr.R.Ramasamy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that since the petitioner was not present in the village on 27.12.2015, there cannot be any charge against the petitioner as alleged by the prosecution and that the respondent police has foisted a false case against him. 3.Mr.A.Robinson, learned Government Advocate (Criminal side), who accepts notice on behalf of the second respondent, on instructions, would contend that the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, (PCR Court), Madurai, took cognizance of the offence and issued summons to the accused.

3.A perusal of the final report filed against the present accused, prima facie shows that the offences punishable under Sections 147, 294(b), 323 and 506(1) of the Indian Penal Code and https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2

Crl.O.P.(MD)No.3251 of 2021 Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989 are made out against the present petitioner and the concerned III Additional District and Sessions Judge cannot be found fault with for taking cognizance of the offences. The contention of the petitioner that he was out of station on the date of occurrence needs to be proved by the petitioner by adducing acceptable evidence before the trial Court. 4.In the circumstances, I do not find any reason to quash the Spl.S.C.No.3 of 2021 on the file of the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, (PCR Court), Madurai and accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.

Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
