Dear friends & Experts! in the Telangana issue the Joint Action Committee is called for rail roko. The Government is foisted false cases against the aggitators under section 353, 147, 148, 149 I.P.C., section 7 of criminal law amendment act, and also sections 147, 150, 152 & 153 of Railway Act. The cases are lodged by the law and order police of state Government of A.P. on the instructions of D.G.P. of Andhra Pradesh. The question is whether the law and order police [i.e. state police] is having powers to lodge the cases? another question is the railway court is having power to entertain the I.P.C. cases [since it is a special court]?

Yes,the law and order police [i.e. state police] is having powers to lodge the cases. Though the railway court is a special court but it have power to entertain the I.P.C. cases registered in G.R.P. jurisdiction.
