Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Writ No.995 of 2011 ====================================================== Doma Manjhi .... .... Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. .... .... Respondents ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner : Mr. Girish Chandra Jha, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. Ajay, SC-XI. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 09-08-2012 The petitioner is the informant of Ashok Paper Mill P.S.case no.73 of 2011 dated 05.06.2011 registered for the offence punishable under [STATUTE] . In the FIR, Bhagya Narayan Manjhi, Pappu Manjhi and Dilkhush Manjhi and their family members have been made accused. In the present writ petition, a prayer has been made that respondent nos.6 to 9 be also impleaded as accused in the aforesaid case. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent nos.4 and 5 in this case in which, it has been stated that pursuant to investigation of the case the accused persons named in the FIR have already been sent up for trial. In my view, the writ petition is misconceived. The prayer made in the application cannot be allowed. In case, the informant is not satisfied with the progress of investigation of the case he would have ample opportunity to lead his evidence in Patna High Court CR. WJC No.995 of 2011 (2) dt.09-08-2012 2 course of trial and if the trial court finds material against some other accused persons who have not been sent up by the police it can summon such person/persons in exercise of powers conferred under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The application, being devoid of any merit, is dismissed. B.Kr./- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
