JUDGEMENT
MEHTAB S.GILL, J. -
(1.) Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the impugned
order dated 27.10.2003 (Annexure P2) and order dated 21.2.2005
(Annexure P4) be set aside. He has further argued that the petitioner
belonged to the S.C/S.T. Community, which the petitioner has clearly stated
in her complaint before the trial Court. He has further argued that a
certificate to this effect has been attached with this petition as Annexure P3.
(2.) I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the
petition with their assistance.
Trial Court vide its order dated 27.10.2003 (Annexure P2) has
categorically stated that no evidence was produced by the petitioner in her
complaint, to show that she was a member of the scheduled caste or
scheduled tribe. This was the reason that the trial Court observed in the
impugned order, that it did not find appropriate to summon respondents
No.2 and 3 under Section 3 of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe
(Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Against this order, the petitioner filed
a revision before the Additional Sessions Judge, Panipat. The Additional
Sessions Judge, Panipat vide his order dated 21.2.2005 (Annexure P4)
dismissed the petition of the complainant-petitioner on merits and also that
the revision petition was time barred.
(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed on record a
certificate issued by the District Red Cross Society dated 18.3.2004 to this
effect that complainant belongs to Chamar community which has been
declared as Scheduled Caste Block 'B' by the Haryana Government. This
certificate does not have any relevance as it is post dated and also that it has
not been issued by any government authority. I do not find any infirmity in
the orders of the Trial Court and of the revisional Court.
