IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16255 of 2008 Bijen @ Bijendra Yadav, Son of Lakhan Yadav, resident of Village- Saidpur, Police Station-Mansi, District-Khagaria ----------------------- - Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Vijay Kumar Yadav, Son of Late Nunu Narayan Yadav, resident of Village- Saidpur, P.S. Mansi, District-Khagaria -- Opp.Parties ----------- 02 29-06-2010 The petitioner, who is an accused in a murder case and was shown as absconder while submitting chargesheet in the year, 2007, has prayed, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, for quashing of the entire criminal prosecution in connection with Chautham ( Mansi ) P.S. Case No.135 of 2000 registered under Sections 147,148,149,302 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. In paragraph-5 of the petition, it has been stated as follows: “12. That, 12 persons including the petitioner have been made accused in this case. Eleven accused are facing the trial F.T.C. I, Khagaria vide Session Case No.243/04. The case is posted on evidence. Only one witness has been examined so far. Thereafter, not a single witness has turned up so far.” Accordingly, from the admitted facts, it appears that the petitioner is absconding and even then he has dared to file the present petition. I do not find any material to exercise inherent power under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in 2 favour of the petitioner and the petition stands rejected. In view of the fact that the petitioner is an absconder, it is desirable to direct the concerned Superintendent of Police to take steps so that the petitioner may be produced before the court concerned. With the above observation and direction, the petition stands rejected. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J )
