Heard learned counsel for the appellant, the learned AGA for the State- respondent and perused the entire record. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has filed an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. alleging therein that respondent nos.2 to 9, who are police personnel, have assaulted the appellant and also abused him by caste related words. He further submits that it is a case of criminal assault, therefore, registration of FIR for criminal assault is necessary but the court below while dismissing the application of the appellant has not applied its judicial mind and dismissed his application in a routine manner. 4. Per contra, learned AGA vehemently opposed and has submitted that the respondent nos.2 to 9 are police personnel. The appellant is having long criminal antecedents. The court below has rightly rejected the application of the appellant. 5.

I find no irregularity, illegality or jurisdictional error in the order impugned. The appeal lacks merit and is, accordingly, dismissed.
