IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6394 of 2009 RAJU SAO @ ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR @ ANR ----------- 6. 10.03.2011. The petitioners have challenged the order of cognizance dated 31.10.2007 passed by the learned S.D.J.M., Jehanabad under Sections 304(B) and 494 of the I.P.C. on the basis that the place of occurrence falls within the Arwal jurisdiction. Since the Arwal is not a judicial district hence, all civil as well as criminal disputes arising out within the territory of Arwal District which is an administrative District is still under the territorial jurisdiction of Jehanabad Judgeship. Hence, so far the territorial jurisdiction with regard to taking cognizance is concerned, the learned court below i.e., the S. D. J. M. Jehanabad, had jurisdiction to take cognizance. This Court is not applying its mind on the merits of the 2 case. The application is disposed off with liberty to the petitioners to raise all their contentions at the time of framing of charges if the charges have already not been framed. With this observation, this application is disposed off. U. K. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
