IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1182 of 2010 RAVI JHA, son of Shardanand Jha, village Purani Bazar, Jhajha, p.s. Jhajha, Jamui …Petitioner Versus …Opposite party STATE OF BIHAR For the Petitioner : Mr.Ramakant Sharma, Sr.Advocate & : Mr.Laxmi Kant Sharma For the State : Mr. Upadhyay,APP. ----------- 02. 17.08.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. Petitioner is facing trial under diverse sections of the Penal Code including section 364 IPC in S.T.No.796/03. The allegation is that the accuseds including the petitioner were responsible for killing one Shyam Sundar Jha. It appears that prosecution laid all the evidence. Thereafter the defence was given opportunity to lead evidence which was not utilized. The matter was fixed for final argument. At this stage, an application was filed on 02.07.2010 seeking permission of the court to place on record the Xerox copies of the pension payment order and the certificate of the East Central Railways that the deceased was in receipt of the pension from the Railways. The learned trial court has considered the submissions of the parties and has assigned more than adequate reasons for not accepting the same. It has been found that post-mortem report relating to the deceased Shyam Sundar Jha has already been proved and brought on record by the doctor. The defence has made suggestion with regard to the said factum of P.W.5 which was denied. The matter 2 was fixed for argument when such an application was filed. The court has taken a view that this has been filed only to protract/procrastinate the litigation. The court has also found that Xerox copy filed along with the application cannot be treated as public document(s). On hearing learned counsel for the parties and after going through the records including the impugned order, this Court does not find any patent illegality therein. The learned court below has assigned adequate reasons for not allowing the application. There is no merit in this application which is accordingly dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
