IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35318 of 2007 ASHOK KUMAR THAKUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 13.11.2009. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner prays for quashing an order dated 25.3.2006, by which Judicial Magistrate, Ist class, Bhagalpur has taken cognizance of offence in Kotwali Police Station case no. 642/04, (G.R.No.3167/04) lodged under sections 420,467,468,471,465,466,120B IPC. The petitioner states that he is neither named in the FIR nor in 164 Cr.P.C. statement of co-accused Pravas Kumar, except for his statement under section 161 Cr.P.C. As the petitioner has been named by co-accused in his confessional statement, I am not inclined to quash order taking cognizance at this stage. The petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to raise all the points at the time of framing of charge. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J).
