IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3335 of 2010 1. Rabindra Nath Mandal, son of Nathuni Mandal, 2. Satya Narain Mandal, son of Late Uchit Mandal, both are residents of village-Sudai (Nav Toli), Police Station- Phulparas, District-Madhubani. -- Petitioners. Versus The State of Bihar --Opposite party. ----------- 02. 05/02/2010 Being grieved by the order dated 13.10.2009 whereby the learned trial Magistrate has taken cognizance for offences punishable under Sections 25(1-B)a, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act in Tr. No.73 of 2009 arising out of G.R.No.629 of 2009, the petitioner has invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this court for quashment of the same. Mr. Ashok Kumar Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioners has contended that the arms were seized from the vehicle of which he was not the owner and he had nothing to do with the said arms. In my considered opinion, the contention that has been canvassed is basically a plea in defence and can be raised in trial and, therefore, I am not inclined to quash the order of cognizance. In the result, the present application, being - 2 - devoid of merit, stands rejected. Sunil (Dipak Misra, CJ.)
