2. We have a strange situation here, where the case of
two accused who had not petitioned the High Court, was

petitioners/appellants herein found that the charge against
the appellants under Section 3(1)(s) of the Schedule
Castes and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,
19891 would stand quashed but the proceedings under
Section 3(1)(r) of the said Act would be continued.
