Patna High Court CR. WJC No.554 of 2012 (2) dt.18-10-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Writ No.554 of 2012 ====================================================== Manoj Kumar Jha S/O Late Balram Jha Resident Of Village- Makandpur, P.S.- Nath Nagar, Distt.- Bhagalpur. .... .... Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Superintendent Of Police Bhagalpur 3. The Deputy Superintendent Of Police Kahalgaon, Bhagalpur 4. The Officer In Charge Pirpainti Police Station, District- Bhagalpur .... .... Respondents ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 18-10-2012 The petitioner has been made accused in Pirpainty P.S.case No.17 of 2004 dated 21.01.2004 registered under [STATUTE] . In the aforesaid case, the police has already concluded the investigation of the case and submitted its report under Section 173(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the court. Learned Magistrate has taken cognizance of the offence and the case has been committed to the court of Sessions for trial. In the trial, evidence on behalf of the prosecution is being laid. At this stage, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition with a prayer to direct the respondents to re-investigate the case or to get the re-investigation conducted either by C.B.I. or C.I.D. as no proper investigation was made earlier by the local police. Patna High Court CR. WJC No.554 of 2012 (2) dt.18-10-2012 In my view, the writ petition is thoroughly misconceived. The prayer made in the writ petition cannot be allowed. It is dismissed, accordingly. B.Kr./- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
