IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17119 of 2008 SAIRA BEGAM, WIFE OF LATE LAKHI MIAN, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE AKHLASHPUR, P.S. BHABUA, DISTT. KAIMUR (BHABUA) ------- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. SURYABHAN RAM, SON OF RAM KISHUN RAM, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE – NARSINGHPUR, P.S. – BHABUA, DISTT. KAIMUR (BHABUA). ----------- OPPOSITE PARTIES. 3. 29.03.2011 Heard the parties. The petitioner has prayed for quashing the order dated 24.1.2008 passed by the 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Kaimur (Bhabua), in Cr. Revision No. 154/1 of 2002/2007 by which the order of cognizance dated 12.9.2002 has been set aside. The case of the Complainant is that the Opposite Party No. 2 who was the Gram Sevak, Bhabua, refused to issue death certificate in regard to the death of the husband of the petitioner. I Initially cognizance was taken whereafter the accused persons went in Revision but the matter was disposed off in the absence of the parties, so the petitioner moved this Court by Cr. Misc. 9290 of 2007 and the matter was disposed off by order dated 9.4.2007 by another Bench of this Court, stating that the Revisional Court would decide the mater afresh after hearing both the parties. The matter then was heard by the Revisional Court. On going through the order of the Revisional Court, I 2 find that it has considered that in fact, the petitioner in discharge of his official duties had not issued the death certificate in regard to the death of the husband of the petitioner since there was some dispute with regard to the exact location of his death. The Revisional Court was of the view that the Complaint that the Opposite Party No. 2 had not issued death Certificate for extraneous reason was untrustworthy since facts indicated that he had done so in accordance with his discharge of official duties. It therefore held that no offence whatsoever was made out. I am also in agreement with the Revisional Order. In my view also, no offence is made out against the Opposite Party No. 2 in the facts of the case and, therefore, the order taking cognizance was correctly set aside. The application stands dismissed. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
