The petitioners (accused Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in Crime No. 90 of 2025) filed two criminal petitions under Section 528 of the BNSS before the Karnataka High Court seeking to quash an FIR registered against them for offences under Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s), 3(1)(t), 3(1)(a) and 3(1)(za) of the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and Sections 329, 351 and 45 of the BNS, 2023. The complainant (2nd respondent), who belongs to the Bhovi caste, alleged that the accused hurled caste-based abuses at her and her family members, removed eucalyptus trees worth ₹70 lakhs, and demolished the samadhis of her ancestors using a JCB on disputed land over which civil suits for injunction and declaration of title were already pending. The petitioners contended that the land was a closed private area (not a public place), that they had been in possession for over 12 years with revenue entries in their names, and that the dispute was purely civil in nature with no prima facie ingredients of the alleged offences made out. The complainant's counsel opposed quashment, arguing that the crime deserved investigation, noting that an application under Order VII Rule 11 CPC filed by the petitioners in the civil suit had been dismissed and the matter was pending before the Supreme Court. The judgment text as provided ends before the court's final ruling is recorded.
