JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ------- Rakesh Kumar,J. When the case was called out none appeared on behalf of the petitioners either to press this petition or even to make a prayer for adjournment. 2. The two petitioners, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this court under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, have prayed for quashing of the order dated 13.7.1998 passed by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Munger in G.R. Case No.2523 of 1996 arising out of Mufassil P.S. Case No.376 of 1996. By the said order the learned Magistrate has taken cognizance for the offences under sections 366, 380 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The present petition was admitted on 27.1.2000. However, while admitting the case, no order of stay was granted. Since no one has appeared on behalf of the petitioners, it is 2 difficult to know regarding the stage of the present case in the court below. In any view of the matter, after examining the materials available on the record I am satisfied that the petitioners have not made out a case warranting this court to exercise its inherent power under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in favour of the petitioners. 4. Accordingly, I do not find any merit in the present petition and the petition stands rejected. 5. Let a copy of this order be sent to the court below forthwith. Patna High Court The 22nd April, 2010 NAFR/Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
