IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.1139 of 2010 SHIV SHANKAR PRASAD @ SHANKAR YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 03 16.03.2011 Heard the parties. The grievance of the petitioner is that petitioner assails the order contained in Memo No. 2818 dated 4th of October 2010 as contained in Annexure -1. It is submitted that the impugned order was passed in terms of the provisions of Section – 3 of the Bihar Control of Crimes Act, 1981 whereby the petitioner has been directed to report before the Officer In-charge of the different police station twice in a week as mentioned in the order. The grievance of the petitioner is that in the impugned order, no period has been given as to how long the petitioner has to report before the Officer In-charge of the police station. As such, the order suffers from serious irregularity. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that the impugned order itself refers that the order is being passed in terms of the provisions of sub - section 3 (b) (1) of Section 3 of the aforesaid act. That such order shall be operative for maximum period 2 of six months. The impugned order has been passed on 4th of October 2010, and as such, the maximum period of six months would be completed within first week of April itself. Considering the submission of the parties and the impugned order, I am not inclined to interfere with the matter, the same is accordingly disposed of. Jagdish/ ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
