Opposite Party/s =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 02. 27.07.2012 The Petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 13.02.2012 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge-III, Patna in S.Tr. No. 1578/09 arising out of Complaint Case No. 3413(c)/2006 by which he has refused an application under Section 228(1)(a) Cr.P.C. It has been submitted that the Petitioner has been charged under [STATUTE] and 138 of N.I. Act all of which are triable by the Magistrate and, therefore, the case should not have been committed to the Court of Sessions. However, he concedes that the case was committed to the Court of Sessions on the direction of this Court. I find from the impugned order that it has considered the scope of Section 323 Cr.P.C. and, therefore, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. The application is dismissed.
