IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31262 of 2010 KARI PASWAN & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2/ 25.8.2010 After having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and finding that the prayer is for quashing the FIR of Shamho P.S. Case no. 5 of 2008, the court does not feel inclined to quash the FIR and thereby stop the police from investigating into the complicity of any accused, may be the present petitioners also. The court does not have powers to do it as the police has the statutory power and duty both to investigate the offence. The petition is dismissed. The petitioners, however, shall have a liberty of being heard at the time of taking cognizance and then only the order taking cognizance shall have to be passed. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
