After hearing the learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. and learned counsel appearing for the complainant, I am of the considered view that the application deserves to be allowed. This court while granting interim relief by order dated 13th June 2007 in paragraph 3 has observed that, "From the perusal of the complaint, it can be seen that the caste of the accused has not been mentioned in the complaint.
