RESPONDENTS 2 03.05.2010 This writ application has been listed under the heading “For orders” on the question of maintainability. However, I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner on the merit of the case. Prayer in this writ application has been made for stay of further proceeding in Sessions Trial No.234 of 2010 pending in the court of the learned Fast Track Court, Araria in the light of latter No. 1868 dated 26.03.2010 issued from the office of the D.G.P. (Investigation), Bihar, Patna addressed to the Superintendent of Police Araria, annexed as Annexure-2, by which he has been asked to transmit the case diary, F.I.R., supervision notes and charge sheet etc. to the office of the D.G.P. - 2 - Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the said letter has been issued from the office of the D.G.P. in the light of Annexures 7, 8 and 10 issued by the Government by which D.G.P. was directed to look into the matter and do the needful. Learned counsel further submits that S.P. Araria is not obeying the orders of the D.G.P. and, therefore, petitioner, who is an accused, has filed this writ application for stay of the trial. If the subordinate authorities of the D.G.P. are not obeying his orders, he is competent enough to take action against them, but that cannot be, in any way, a ground to stay a trial of an accused. The writ application is, accordingly, dismissed. B.T. (J.N. Singh, J.)
