O R D E R

Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioners are the accused in Crime No. 253 of 2015 of Vellikulangara Police Station registered for the offences under sections 143, 147, 148, 427, 447, 294(b), 506(ii) read with 149 IPC and section 3(1) (v), (X) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act- 1989.

3. The allegation is that they trespassed into the property of the first informant, committed mischief, uttered obscene words, threatened to cause her death and called her caste name, she being a member of a scheduled caste.

4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the first informant and the learned Public Prosecutor.

5. The First Information Statement discloses commission of the offence under sections 3(1) (v), (X) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act- 1989. Section 18 of the Act takes away the jurisdiction of this Court under section 438 Cr.P.C. So, this application is not maintainable. If the petitioners happen to be arrested, the learned Magistrate may take into consideration the merits of the case and there is no legal impediment

B.A.No. 2293 of 2015 (B) ::2::
