The petitioners have filed the present application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure with a prayer to quash the order dated 05.06.2010 passed by the learned S.D.J.M., Khagaria in Complaint Case No. 671( C) of 2008 whereby cognizance of the offence has been taken against the petitioners under [STATUTE] . The petitioners, being aggrieved by the aforesaid order taking cognizance, preferred Cr. Rev. No. 106 of 2010 before the learned Sessions Judge, Khagaria, which was dismissed by a reasoned and speaking order dated 17.09.2011. The only plea raised on behalf of the petitioners is that the petitioners have also filed a counter case and that has not been looked into by the court below, while passing the impugned order. Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.4200 of 2012 (2) dt.30-01-2012 2 / 2 2 After having heard the parties and on examination of the complaint petition (Annexure-1), this Court finds that the case under [STATUTE] is prima facie made out against the accused persons including the petitioners. The order taking cognizance has been rightly affirmed by the learned Revisional court. No case for interference is made out. This application stands dismissed. BTiwary/- (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
