The petitioner, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, has prayed for quashing of an order of cognizance, which was passed long back on 16.11.1989 in Kadam Kuan P.S. Case No.701 of 1989. By the said order, the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna has taken cognizance of offence under Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.9028 of 2011 (3) dt.31-01-2012 2 [STATUTE] and 27 of the Arms Act. I have perused the impugned order. It appears that police after investigation had submitted charge sheet and thereafter, the learned Magistrate, on the basis of materials available on record, has passed the order of cognizance. I do not find any defect in the order. The petition stands dismissed. The court below is required to proceed with the case expeditiously so that the case may come to its logical end without any further delay. Office is required to send a copy of this order to the court below forthwith. N.H./- (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
