IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.54345 of 2007 HANUMAN RAM, Son of Sri Sita Ram, resident of Village- Pach Pokhari, P.S. Kudra, District- Kaimur, Bhabua, then officer Incharge Sikraul, P.S. District-Buxar.................................................................................Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Janardan Das, Chela of Late Mahanth Raghav Parpanacharya, resident of Village- Basaw Kala, P.S. Sikraul, District-Buxer...Opposite Parties. ----------- 09. 07.05.2010. None appears for the petitioner. However, learned counsel for opposite party no.2 and the State are in appearance. The present application has been filed for quashing the order dated 06.01.1997 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar, in complaint case no.509( C) of 1996 whereby the cognizance has been taken under Sections 147, 148, 380/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for opposite party no.2 has submitted that due to non-appearance of the petitioner, the trial is not proceeding and the petitioner has been declared absconder which is apparent from the counter- affidavit filed on behalf of opposite party no.2. In view of the fact that the order of cognizance is more than 13 years old and in view of the conduct of the petitioner that he 2 has been declared absconder, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. The application is dismissed. U.K. (Dinesh Kumar Sinha,J)
