(2.) The brief facts of the case are that respondent, Smt. Bimla, filed a complaint before the learned Judicial Magistrate 1 st Class, Nuh, on the allegations that she was resident of Tauru and owned a plot measuring 800 square yards situated within the abadi deh, which was allotted to her as a landless Harijan. It was further alleged that on 11.07.2010, while the respondent was working in her plot, all the petitioners in collusion with each other reached there and quarreled with her, threw away the construction material out of the plot and threatened her to vacate the plot immediately, otherwise to face the dire consequences. It was further alleged that when she resisted the act and conduct of the petitioners-accused, they misbehaved, gave beatings to her and raised lalkara and uttered "Chamari Dhedni Tujhe es plot main naheen rehene denga tatha kabza ham karenge". One Dinu reached at the spot and rescued her from the clutches of the petitioners. While leaving, the petitioners threatened the respondent-complainant to cause her death as and when they get an opportunity. The respondent-complainant further alleged that the petitioners caught her breast deliberately. The matter was reported to the police but no action was taken.
