IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2289 of 2009 RENU KUMARI & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 9.4.2010. Heard. The allegation against the petitioners is that for obtaining an employment as Anganbadi Sevika for petitioner Renu Kumari who is the wife of petitioner Ramadhar Kumar, they conspired together and got a forged and fabricated caste and residential certificates indicating that she was resident of Taregna whereas she was a resident of a village within the district of Aurangabad. As regards the allegation of caste certificate being forged there is no factual data provided in that behalf. By annexing certain records of public nature, it has been contended that for obtaining the caste certificate and residential certificate certain applications had to be made by petitioner no.1 Renu Kumari before the Block Development Officer, Masaurhi and after due verifications the certificates were issued. The attention of the court was drawn to Annexure-3/4 to submit that the Block Development Officer himself held an enquiry on - 2 - 2.5.2007 and during that course he found that petitioner Renu Kumari was residing at village Taregna Math, ward no.3 in her house. Another document towards which the attention of the court has been drawn is the receipt showing the payment of Municipal taxes which the petitioner Ramadhar Kumar, the husband of petitioner Renu Kumari had paid in respect of house no.593 situated in ward no.3 of Taregna. Besides, the attention of the court was drawn to the copy of the electoral rolls of the year 2007 which also indicates that Renu Kumari was a resident of Taregna and her name appeared at sl.no.1123 of the electoral rolls. Besides, the form containing the full details of petitioner Renu Kumari in the light of Election Rules, 2007 annexed as Annexure-3 also testifies to the above facts. I find that those are the clinching evidence indicating that Renu Kumari and other petitioners were residents of village Taregna and had their own residential establishments there. As such, the allegation appears completely a hoax. The initiation of the proceedings by order dated 8.8.2008 passed by - 3 - the S.D.J.M., Masaurhi in Masaurhi P.S.Case No.71 of 2008 appears completely an abuse of the process of the court and the same is hereby quashed. The petition is allowed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
