IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1402 of 2008 RAMAKANT JHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 4.5.2009 Heard. A supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner. Let it be kept on the record. The petitioner is the informant of Kurhani P.S.Case No.341/2007 which was registered under Sections 304B,, 201/34 IPC. It is stated in the complaint petition that his daughter Rupa Devi was married on 8.3.2007 with one Avinash Mishra, son of O.P.No.2. The petitioner submits that that despite assurance given by this Court, the son of O.P.No.2, namely, Avinash Mishra is absconding and has not surrendered in the court below. The petitioner further submits that the ornaments and cash seized from the possession of Girija Devi was only gift given by the petitioner to his late daughter. It has been asserted that Girija Devi is illegally claiming the possession of the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the seizure of the ornaments from Sindhu Devi was not related with the petitioner and as such he did not file any objection opposing the same. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that the trial court at the time of conclusion of the case would - 2 - pass an appropriate order in respect of releasing the ornaments in favour of its owner. The trial court would also give necessary instructions to the Police so that the seized materials are properly kept. This case is of the year 2007. So, the trial court would take appropriate steps for disposal of the trial expeditiously. With the aforesaid directions and observation, this application is disposed of. Let a copy of this order be sent through FAX at the cost of the petitioner. SKBOSE (Samarendra Pratap Singh)
