IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5586 of 2009 1. MANOJ KUMAR MAURYA @ MANOHAR SINGH S/O RAM GAHAN SINGH 2. RAM GAHAN SINGH S/O JAGRUP SINGH 3. HEERA SINGH S/O GUPUT SINGH 4. MANARAJ SINGH S/O RAM GAHAN SINGH 5. DHANRAJ SINGH S/O RAM GAHAN SINGH 6. SUSHILA DEVI W/O MANARAJ SINGH 7. SUKHDE DEVI @ RAM BASI DEVI W/O RAM GAHAN SINGH 8. MAMTA DEVI W/O DHANRAJ SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 11.08.2010 The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 6.11.2008 by which learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, kaimur at Bhabhua has taken cognizance in Complaint Case No. 530 (C) of 2008 instituted under Sections 498 (A), 304 (B), 201, 120-B of I.P.C. The contention of the petitioner is that after the First Information Report was instituted on investigation the allegation was found false and, therefore, present cognizance on the basis of protest cum complaint petition is not warranted. In my view, it was well within the jurisdiction of the Magistrate to take cognizance on the protest cum complaint petition and, therefore, I find no illegality in the matter. In view of such, this application is dismissed. Fahad. ( Anjana Prakash, J. ) - 2 -
