The case of the petitioner may be summarized as under:

(a) The people of village Malavad residing in a locality known as Vankarvas were fed up with the problem of supply of potable drinking water. Most of the people at Vankarvas are members of the Scheduled Caste. Many representations were made before the Gram Panchayat to solve the problem of drinking water but the same was not taken care of by the authorities concerned. On 28th October, 2014 at about 8-00 O'clock in the late evening, the females of the locality went to the house of the Sarpanch, viz., Ushaben V. Parmar to discuss the problem of supply of drinking water. However, instead of listening to the problem of the villagers, the Sarpanch, her husband, viz., Vijaybhai Sursanbhai Parmar, and others got angry and behaved badly with the people residing at the Vankarvas. Thereafter, the villagers decided to speak to the Deputy Sarpanch, viz., Ganibhai, and he in turn informed the villagers that the pipeline had been damaged and in that regard he had also lodged a complaint. On 30th October, 2014 at around 9-00 O'clock in the night, the husband of the Sarpanch, viz., Vijaybhai, and other persons named in the F.I.R. came at the Vankarvas with weapons like stick, hockey, sickle etc. and started hurling abuses to the people residing in the locality. They all uttered bad words relating to the community of the people residing in the locality and started pelting stones. Although, many attempts were made to persuade them to stop behaving in a high-handed manner, yet they refused to listen and assaulted many females with sticks and hockeys. Immediately thereafter, the houses were also damaged by the accused persons. The well water was intentionally contaminated by pouring crude oil into the same. The agricultural fields of one Vishnubhai and others were also set on fire damaging the standing crop of rice.

2. It appears from the materials on record that the Deputy Superintendent of Police (S.C./S.T. Cell), Kheda, Nadiad took over the investigation of the crime reported at the Police Station. It appears that no action was taken earliest in point of time. Practically, all the persons responsible for creating the unrest in the village were arrested on 2nd November, 2014 in the morning.

3. It also appears that the petitioner complained that the Sections which were made applicable were not the correct Sections and he requested to add Sees. 3
