IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SLA No.22 of 2008 VISHNU JI GUPTA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. LAL BABU GUPTA 3. JANKI DEVI 4. LAXMAN PRASAD 5. BHARAT PRASAD ----------- 4 15.01.2009 There appears to be material dispute between the parties. Counsel for the petitioner admits before this Court that subsequent to filing of the present complaint, the wife has filed a criminal case under section 498A. It is further admitted by the counsel for the petitioner that a maintenance case was also subsequently filed. In the back drop of these admitted position, the consideration of the matter by the learned Trial Court cannot be said to be patently illegal. This Court perused the findings recorded at paragraph nos. 12, 13, 14 and 15 where the learned Court below has discussed the evidence of the witnesses. The Court below in the particular facts of the case has drawn adverse inference as the father of the complainant was never examined to support the allegations. This Court does not find any patent illegality in the judgment. The application stands dismissed. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J )
