Respondent/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 20-07-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is informant of Rahui (Vena) P.S. Case No.290 of 2010 instituted for the offence punishable under [STATUTE] . A prayer has been made in the instant writ petition to direct the respondents to arrest respondents no.7 to 9, namely, Rajiv Kumar son of Arjun Prasad, Kurma Devi wife of Arjun Prasad and Sunita Devi @ Kari wife of Rajiv Kumar. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondents no.4 to 6 in which it has been stated that the police, on conclusion of investigation, has already submitted charge-sheet in Patna High Court CR. WJC No.786 of 2011 (2) dt.20-07-2012 2 / 2 2 the case on 5.5.2011. The charge-sheet has been brought on record and marked as annexure ‘A’ to the counter affidavit. From perusal of charge-sheet, it is apparent that the respondents no.7 to 9 have not been sent up for trial. Two other accused, namely, Surya Nandan Prasad and Arjun Prasad have been charge-sheeted and sent up for trial in the case. In that view of the matter, I find no merit in the writ petition. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Md.S./- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
