record, it is noted that the petitioner fiied memo before the trial Court stating that Section 323,5O4 and 506 of IPC do not comes under Scheduled offences and he relied upon the order of this Court in Criminal Petition No. 12O43 of 2018 dated 05.07.2O22. It is specihcally contended by thelearned Assistant hrblic Prosecutor that Sections 323,5O4 and 5O6 of IPC are included in Section 3(2)(va) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015, whereas, on going through the record it is noted that initially the trial Court took cognizance for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 504 and 506 of IPC and Section S(t) (p) (q) (.) (s) of the Act. As, after consideringthe charge sheet and material on record, in CriminalPetition No. 12O43 of 2OI8, this Court has deleted Section S(t)(p) (q) (r) (s) of the Act, the trial Court again cannot take the cognLance and frame the charge for the offencepunishableunder Section 3(2)(va) of the SC/ST Act. As such, theframing of charge for the offence under Section 3(2)(va) is not inaccordalcewith law.
