Patna High Court CR. WJC No.1131 of 2011 (2) dt.27-08-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Writ No.1131 of 2011 ====================================================== Devendra Rai .... .... Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors .... .... Respondents ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 27-08-2012 A case being Hajipur Town P.S.Case No.499 of 2005 was instituted on the basis of fardbeyan given by one Md. Sajjad Ali under [STATUTE] . In course of investigation on the requisition of the police [STATUTE] was also added in the FIR. The police investigated the case and on completion of investigation submitted chargesheet under [STATUTE] on 31.01.2009 vide chargesheet No.56 of 2009. The petitioner states that he is one of the injured in the alleged road accident. He is not satisfied with the outcome of investigation. His prayer is that a direction be issued by this Court to the respondents to re- investigate the case. In my view, the writ petition is misconceived. Once the police has completed the investigation and submitted chargesheet before the court, it is for the Magistrate concerned to pass Patna High Court CR. WJC No.1131 of 2011 (2) dt.27-08-2012 appropriate orders. The writ petition being, devoid of any merit, is dismissed. B.Kr./- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
