IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45831 of 2007 PARSHURAM SINGH son of Yamuna Singh, resident of village-Jamuhar, P.S.-Dehri, Dist.-Rohtas. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 10.3.2010. Heard Mr.Alamdar Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioner and Dr.Maya Nand Jha, learned APP for the State. This petition under section 482 of the Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing the order dated 4.1.2002 passed in Forest Case No.22 of 2002/1771 of 2005 whereby Sri Sheo Murat Prasad, learned Judicial Magistrate, 2nd Class, Sasaram had taken cognizance of the offences under sections 33, 41 and 42 of the Forest Act and sections 2 and 3 of the Forest Conservation Act. Without going into the merit of the case, I am of the view that at such a belated stage the order may not be allowed to challenge. In this case cognizance was taken, as per statement made in paragraph-2 of the petition, on 4.1.2002 and the petitioner filed the present petition on 1st February, 2007. The court is not aware that after order of cognizance what has happened in the court below. In that view of the matter, without going into the merit of the case, this petition stands rejected. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
