IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.57593 of 2007 SAKUNI CHOUDHARY son of late Pyare Choudhary, resident of village-Lakhanpur, P.S.-Tarapur, Dist-Munger …….. .. …..Petitioner Versus 1.The State of Bihar 2.Md.Sayeed Khan son of Late Haji Md.Ismail Khan, resident of village-Khawaie, P.O.- Bishunpur, P.S.-Sherghati. Dist.-Gaya. ……. …….Opp.Parties. --------- 3 27.9.2010 When the case was called out, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner either to press this petition or to make a prayer for adjournment. This case was earlier rejected due to non-prosecution and subsequently on the petition filed for restoration, the case was restored. However, Dr. Maya Nand Jha, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appeared on behalf of the State. It is a peculiar case that in the month of December, 2007 the petitioner had filed the present case with a prayer to quash an order which was passed long back on 5.12.1994 in Trial No.465 of 1995 arising out of Complaint Case No.192 of 1994. By the said order learned Sub. Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sherghati had taken cognizance of the offence under section 298 of the Indian Penal Code. I do not find any merit in the present petition. The petition stands rejected. The court below is directed to proceed with the case expeditiously so that the case may come to its logical end without any further delay. From the record it appears that the complaint was filed in the year 1994 itself. With the above observation and direction, the petition stands rejected. Md.S. (Rakesh Kumar,J.)
