Opposite Parties ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER 6 04-10-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is to quash the order dated 14.08.2007 passed Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.10113 of 2010 (6) dt.04-10-2012 in G.R. No. 1025 of 2003 arising out of Katoria P.S. Case No. 158 of 2003 whereby the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banka took the cognizance for the offence under [STATUTE] and the petitioners and others. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioners submits that while the police submitted the charge-sheet under [STATUTE] but the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate took the cognizance of the offence under [STATUTE] also. The cognizance taking court has jurisdiction to differ with the conclusion arrived by I.O. in charge sheet and take cognizance for more offence on perusal of case diary. As such, I find no any illegality in the impugned order amounting to abuse of the process of the Court for interference in inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to raise all defence, raised herein, at appropriate stage in trial court. Safik/- (Rajendra Kumar Mishra, J)
