IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13079 of 2008 HARISH CHANDRA SAH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.5.2010. Heard. The prayer is for quashing the FIR of Sawaipati P.S.Case No.44 of 2007 which has been registered under Sections 376/511 of the IPC. Even assuming for the sake of argument that the statements made in the FIR may not be constituting an offence for which it has been registered, it is not disputed that an offence under Section 354 of the IPC may be constituted and that offence is shown by schedule 1 of the Cr.P.C. as cognizable. Police has statutory duty and right to investigate a cognizable offence and that statutory power of the police can never be cut shot annulled or quashed by any court. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr.
