No.1309 of 2025(5) dt.18-02-2026 2/3 the outset, submits that the present revision petition is not maintainable as it has been filed against an order passed by the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Sheikhpura, whereby and whereunder cognizance has been taken against the accused persons in SC/ST Case No. 13 of 2024. Learned counsel further submits that an appeal under Section 14A(2) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act would lie against the order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge under the provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners earlier filed a writ petition and the same was held not maintainable, the petitioner sought permission to convert it into criminal revision petition and the same was allowed. Therefore, the petition should be heard by this Court. 3. Against an order of Special Court under the provisions of the SC/ST (PoA) Act, the conversion of writ petition into revision petition, when writ was not found maintainable, was not proper. Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioners is directed to convert the present revision petition into criminal appeal within a week. 4. Office is directed to extend all cooperation towards Patna High Court CR. REV. No.1309 of 2025(5) dt.18-02-2026 3/3 conversion and immediately list the matter before the appropriate Bench.
