IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8151 of 2008 BABLU SINGH, SON OF SRI KEDAR SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE MALAYPUR, P.S. BARHAT, DISTRICT JAMUI. ---- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, JAMUI. 2. THE DISTRICT FOREST OFFICER, MUNGER. ----------- 2 27.1.2010 Petitioner has filed this application for quashing of the First Information Report of Barhat P.S. Case No. 104 of 2001 instituted on 29.12.2001, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 353, 307, 323 and 427 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that the petitioner was going on a Gypsy which was carrying khair. When the vehicle was stopped the driver rushed towards the village and later 50-60 persons surrounded the informant and assaulted him. It is stated by the informant that the petitioner took the signature of the informant on a piece of plain paper in which it was stated that nothing was found in the vehicle. The contention is that on the basis of the same occurrence another case numbered as Forest Case No. 63(C2) of 2004 was instituted under Sections 33, 41, 42 and 52 of the Bihar Forest Amendment Act, 1989 in which there is allegation of a similar nature except that it specifically mentions that the petitioner’s Gypsy/Lorry was carrying Khair in it. At this stage, the Court does see any justification for quashing of the First Information Report as investigations have to be made in both cases and only when the investigation is complete then the petitioner at the most can pray, that since the matter arises out of a similar occurrence, the cases should be tried one after the other by the 2 same Court. This aspect of the matter will be considered if and when required. At present no interference is warranted in this case. This application is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
