JAGDISHPUR, DISTRICT BHAGALPUR, AT PRESENT RESIDENT OF MOHALLA PARBATTI, P.S. VISHWAVIDYALAYA, DISTRICT BHAGALPUR ….. PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 26.10.2010 The petitioner has sought quashing of the First Information Report of Jagdishpur P.S. case No.6 of 2010 dated 13.1.2010 instituted for offences u/s.379 I.P.C. and Section 135 of the Electricity Act on the ground that he has already deposited the loss amount before the Electricity Board and, therefore, the matter should not proceed even in investigation. The Counsel for the Electricity Board contends that even after this the petitioner has to approach the Authorized Officer to allow compounding the offence u/s.152 of the Electricity Act. In case the petitioner approaches the Authorized Officer and the matter is compounded and the petitioner pays the amount so ordered by the Officer, Jagdishpur P.S. case No.6 of 2010 dated 13.1.2010 shall stand quashed as far as this petitioner is concerned. With the above direction/observation, the application is disposed of. Narendra/ ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
