IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3136 of 2009 1. MD.MAHFOOZ S/O LATE ABDUL HAFEEZ 2. SAMI AHMAD 3. ALI AHMAD 4. RAFI AHMAD PETITONER NO. 2 TO 4 S/O MD. MAHFOOZ Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. SABRA PARVEEN D/O MD. SHAKIR ALI ----------- 4. 03.08.2010 The petitioners seek quashing of the order of cognizance dated 18.12.04 by which cognizance has been taken under Section 341, 323, 307/34, 498 of I.P.C and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The case of the complainant was that she was married to the co-accused Razi Ahmad in the year 2000 and two children were born out of her wedlock but unfortunately for demands of Maruti car she was tortured by her in-laws. The petitioners are her father in law and three brothers-in- law. From the perusal of the complaint, I find that the entire occurrence has taken place within the jurisdiction of Darbhanga, where the complainant subsequently filed another complaint. It is only at the end of the complaint that a sentence has been added that the accused persons had come to her house and demanded a car and again refused to - 2 - take her. On perusal of the complaint it is also clear that there is absolutely no specific overt act alleged against the petitioners and the complaint is totally vague and general. In view of such this application is allowed and the order dated 18.12.2004 passed by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhubani in Bisfi P.S. Case no. 33/04, G.R. No. 465/04 arising out of Complaint Case vide C.R. No. 331/04 is set aside as far as it concerns the present petitioners. Fahad. (Anjana Prakash, J)
