IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.182 of 2008 JANARDAN SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 20.1.2009 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. In the instant writ application the petitioner prays for directing the respondents to pay compensation to him for physically and mentally harassing and torturing him as he has been acquitted in Nautan P.S. Case No.87 of 2005 under section 376/34 of the I.P.C. in course of trial. In my view the relief sought for by the petitioner is not available under the criminal writ jurisdiction rather his remedy is by way of filing an appropriate case before the civil court. With the aforesaid observation this writ application is disposed of. Anilksinha (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J.)
