S.S.Chheena vs Vijay Kumar Mahajan & Anr on 12 August, 2010
It is submitted that for the offence under the Atrocities Act the
requisite ingredients are also not fulfilled. Mr. Namit Sharma, Advocate has
submitted that there is only one simple allegation against the petitioner
Monika alleged by the deceased in the alleged suicide note which neither
constitute any offence under section 306 IPC nor under the Atrocities Act.
It is submitted that the prosecution is bound to prove a prima facie case
against the accused on the basis of the material produced before the Trial
Court, however, the prosecution miserably failed to adduce any such
material constituting a prima facie case against the petitioners and thus the
Trial Court has failed to appreciate the same and has illegally dismissed the
applications filed under section 227 Cr.P.C and hence has fallen in error in
framing the charge against the petitioners for the offence under sections
306, 34 IPC and section 3 of the Atrocities Act. Learned counsel for the
petitioners have relied upon the judicial precedents in cases of S.S.

the submissions made by counsel for the petitioners. He has submitted that
admittedly the deceased belonged to the Scheduled Caste. She was working
as a Teacher in the same school along with the accused persons. It is
submitted that the deceased was made a scapegoat by rest of the staff
members. It is further submitted that deceased was persistently being
humiliated by uttering the casteist remarks before the school staff. Counsel
has submitted that the case of the prosecution is not based on presumptions
and assumptions. Rather the deceased had left a suicide note, wherein she
specifically mentioned about the complicity of the petitioners in her
harassment and humiliation in front of the school staff which compelled her
to end her life. Counsel has submitted that a bare reading of the allegations
in the suicide note is sufficient enough to constitute a prima facie case
against the petitioners. It is further submitted that the deceased jumped
before the train along with her child, however, the child miraculously
survived with two injuries, whereas Manju Bala died on the spot. Counsel
has submitted that the judicial precedents relied upon by learned counsel
for the petitioners are not applicable in the facts and circumstances of the
present case as at the the stage of framing of charge the court is to see
whether the material produced before it constitute a prima facie case against
the petitioners and the court is not to weigh the evidences at this stage. He
has submitted that the material produced by the investigating agency before
the learned Trial Court is sufficient enough to constitute a prima facie case
against the petitioners and hence the learned Trial Court has rightly
dismissed the applications filed by them under section 227 Cr.P.C and
framed the charges.
