IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10750 of 2010 GHANSHYAM MANDAL, S/o Late Mahendra Mandal, R/o Village-Pathra, P.S.-Barahatt, District-Banka, presently Pramukh of Barahatt Block Panchayat Samiti, District- Banka. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna 2. The Superintendent of Police, Banka, District-Banka. 3. The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Banka, District-Banka. 4. The Station Head Officer, Barahatt Police Station, District-Banka. 5. Sri Nand Kishore Thakur, S/o Late Ram Chartira Thakur, R/o A/B Sector D-1, P.S. Kankarbagh Colony, District-Patna, presently posted as the Block Development Officer, Barahatt, District-Banka. ----------- 02. 08.12.2010 The petitioner has sought quashing of the FIR of Barahatt P.S. Case No. 527 of 2009. The petitioner refers to Section 42 of the Gram Panchayat Act that it was not within the powers of the informant to convene a meeting therefore, there was no question of obstruction of his official duty. Under the circumstances, the petitioner submits that since the allegations are absurd having no foundational facts the First Information Report deserves to be quashed on the principles of law enumerated in the case of Bhajanlal Vs. State of Haryana. In my view, there is no law stopping a person from filing an absurd case and it is an established principle of law that once a First Information Report is instituted it is the police alone which is empowered to investigate the same and only under very exceptional circumstances should the Courts interfere in the powers of investigation of the police. In such circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this application. The application is dismissed. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
