IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4976 of 2008 RAJ KISHOR PASWAN & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3. 14.5.2010. Heard. I must note with some sense of appreciation that Sri Sanjeev Ranjan, learned counsel for the petitioner did not leave any argument to be placed before me for consideration as regards the merit of the petition and it was really fascinating to hear him. But, considering that the final form was filed by the investigating agency and further it might be the misconception of law of a Judge who issued notice to the informant rightly or wrongly in the light of the decision reported in the case of Bhagwant Singh Vrs. Commissioner of Police, 1983 SC 826, the order taking cognizance and summoning accused persons passed after about 12 years of the institution of the FIR appears not covered by the decisions which were cited before me. As regards the quashing of the proceedings on account of the belated stage in passing such orders, I do not find any merit in the petition, as such, it is dismissed. However, - 2 - it is expected that the case is immediately committed to the court of Sessions and the District & Sessions Judge, Munger shall place the case before a Fast Track Court having maximum stay at Munger who shall ensure that the trial has to be concluded in one and half years. The trial court may send a copy of this order to S.P., Muzaffarpur directing him to produce all the witnesses through the officer-in-charge of Muffasil P.S.Case No.274 of 1991 on day to day basis.
