JUSTICE SHIVAJI PANDEY ORAL ORDER 2 26-06-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. In this case, the petitioner is challenging the F.I.R. arising from Chhatauni P.S. Case No. 63 of 2010 for offences under [STATUTE] . From the F.I.R. it appears that two allegations have been made, one with regard to commitment of forgery in the last pay slip and withdrawing the money. Another allegation has been made with regard to not handing over the full charge even after the transfer. The counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no allegation that he has withdrawn the excess money what he was entitled to and as such F.I.R. is not sustainable in law. Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.8828 of 2011 (2) dt.26-06-2012 No argument has been advanced that before lodging the case petitioner has already handed over the full charge. At this stage, it cannot be looked into as to whether the statement with regard to forgery in L.P.C. as well as handing over the full charge is correct or not. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to raise all the points before the court below at the time of framing of the charge and the court below will pass the reasoned order in accordance with law. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. Mahesh/- (Shivaji Pandey, J)
