Case in Brief
Roninki Lakshmi, aged 29 years is wife of Roninki Appala Naidu. They have two children Yesebu(13) and Gnyanu(11). Appala Naidu works as Conservency Safaiwala in Station Head Quarters Cell (EO) – AMC Regiment at Langar House near water tank. Appala Naidu has two elder brothers Roninki Simhachalam, aged 40 years and Roninki Jaddanna, aged 39 years. They lived in Langer House for 20 years. His mother Roninki Eeramma bought house site of 130 sq. yards bearing RS No. 118 in Lakshmi Nagar and built a house where whole family lived together. She registered the same on the names of Appala Naidu and Simhachalam, 65 sq. yards each. Appala Naidu borrowed Rs.80,000/- from various sources and repaired the house. Later his mother repaid the principle and interest amounting to Rs.1,50,000/- with the amount she got after her retirement. Later Appala Naidu agreed to pay back Rs.35,000/- to his brothers as they asked for share in the amount received by his mother. Lakshmi along with her family shifted to a rented house unable to bear the nuisance created by her brother-in-laws. Ultimately they landed into debts to a tune of Rs.2,00,000/- from private money lenders to meet the rental and domestic expenditure. As they were unable to repay the debts, the money lenders started abusing Lakshmi with filthy language, likewise Erukala Mallesh and Biswas beat up Appala Naidu. Satyam used to send his people and forcibly take Appala Naidu to his shop and harass him. All the money lenders threatened him of dire consequences which intimidated Appala Naidu from attending his duties. He even lodged a complaint in the Langer House PS.
As he failed to repay, the harassment from the money lenders increased, thus, Lakshmi along with her family shifted to Janawada, Shankarapalli (m), Ranga Reddy. As there was no income, to feed the family, they have again borrowed Rs.24,000/- from Narsamma of Jonnada. Unable to bear the harassment of Biswas, Narsamma, Swami and his wife, Lakshmi left to her parents.
Appala Naidu was forced to sign on the sale deed of his house in the presence of the local elders Ravindra Reddy and Narsinga Rao, stating that all his debts shall be cleared and paid Appala Naidu Rs.20,000/-. But to his pity, no debts were cleared apart from the payment made to Sardar and Asif.

During the time, the villagers practice a very old ritual i.e. a tree to be planted next to the temple as a symbol of temple flag. In the pit where the tree is to be planted; a Dalit will be asked to get into the pit before the tree is being planted. Then the temple priest along with some dominant caste people start planting the tree and at the at the same time the Dalit has to immediately come out from the pit, if he is unable to come out on time he is mixed with the soil and tree is planted over him. The villagers belong to Kholi (Harijan), Bhramins and Rajput caste. During the time of Navratra, Bhikam Ram went to Shiv Mandir to offer his prayers. He was about to enter into the temple, the temple priest pushed him away and restricted his entry because he belongs to an “untouchability” scheduled caste (Harijan). When Bhikam Ram protested against the priest the temple committee also got involved in between; they also ordered him to leave the premises immediately. Bhikam Ram narrated the incident to his sons and neighbors. Together they went to Tehsil Manali police station to register an F.I.R. The next day the temple priest and 17 other committee members were arrested. Victim not received any compensation. Case is running in District court of Kullu.
