Hyderabad, June 19: Justice S. Ravi Kumar of the Hyderabad High Court has quashed a criminal complaint lodged against a former general manager and an assistant general manager of Andhra Bank under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
The judge was allowing a petition by former general manager of Andhra Bank S.R.K. Prasad and assistant general manager Sri Bose seeking to quash the proceedings pending before the additional metropolitan magistrate court initiated by B. Abraham Lincoln, a former employee of Andhra Bank alleging that the officials have abused him in the name of his caste.
Dr K. Lakshmi Narasimha, counsel for the petitioners, submitted that the complainant had filed false complaint against the petitioners after his dismissal from the service.
Dr Narasimha said that the complainant bore grudge against the petitioners as they represented to the National Commission of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes that an inquiry by the vigilance department was pending.
After perusing the facts, the judge held that no case was made out against the petitioners.
