IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9161 of 2008 AWADH KISHORE JHA(A.K.JHA), son of Jadunath Jha, resident of Kirno, PS Bausi, presently working as Sales Officer-cum-Representative-cum-Agriculture, Golabbag, Purnea, PS and district Purnea – petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 12.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. This application has been filed for quashing the order, dated 20.12.2005 passed by the Subdivisional Judicial Magistrate, Madhepura in Chausa PS Case No. 81/2002 by which cognizance for the offences under section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act was taken. This court while considering the case of M/s. Anil Baid has taken into consideration various facts and has quashed the order of cognizance. The case of this petitioner is similar to the case of Anil Baid in Cr. Misc. No. 20768 of 2007 . I, therefore, hold that the case of the petitioner would be covered by judgment, dated 25.9.2007 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 20768 of 2007 and accordingly quash the impugned order taking cognizance as far as it concerns the petitioner. This application is allowed. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
