IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr Misc No 185 of 2010 1 Ram Preet Sah, son of Jivachh Sah 2 Pradeep Kumar Sah, son of Ram Preet Sah 3 Sanjay Kumar Sah @ Sanjay Sah, son of Ram Preet Sah 4 Sagar Devi, wife of Ram Preet Sah, residents of village – Korhiya, P S – Jainagar, District – Madhubani - Petitioners Versus State of Bihar - Opposite Party ----------- 3 25.05.2010 The petitioners apprehend arrest in Jainagar Police Station Case No 180 dated 02.10.2009 instituted under Section 307 and other sections of the Indian Penal Code. It appears to be a fight between agnates for which a counter case being Jainagar Police Station Case No 181 of 2009 has also been instituted by the petitioners. It is submitted by Mr Ajay Kumar Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioners that it is a case of a mere family feud in which both the sides have received injuries. He submits that both the cases have now been compromised by all the parties and it would be better not to reopen the matter for larger interest of peace and harmony in the family. In my view, the petitioners should approach the learned Sessions Judge once again in view of the compromise as between the parties and on what is noted above who would consider the same and pass appropriate orders in that regard. The application would be an application under Section 438 of Criminal Procedure Code. Before passing orders, he would notice the informant to confirm about the alleged agreement. This application is disposed of accordingly. The order may be communicated to the learned Sessions Judge, Madhubani by FAX at the cost of the petitioners. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh) 2
