The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 08.12.2009 passed by the Sessions Judge, Begusarai, in Cr. Appeal No.62 of 2009 by which he has agreed with the order of the Additional Munsif, Begusarai, dated 14.05.2009 passed in Title Suit No.120 of 1978. The case of the Petitioner is that he had made application under [STATUTE] for proceeding against the plaintiff for having given false evidence with regard to filing of memorandum since he had failed to file memorandum despite his evidence in Court. In his opinion, the plaintiff should have been proceeded against. The Additional Munsif, Begusarai, was of the opinion that the application was premature. Similar stand was taken by the appellate Court. I am in complete agreement with the opinion of the Courts below. The application is dismissed. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J)
