IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24052 of 2007 1. SHEOJEE OJHA, son of Vijay Ojha 2. Vijay Kumar Ojha, son of Vishwanath Ojha 3. Ajay Kumar Ojha, son of Sri Bhagwan Ojha All resident of Dhooki, Police Station Itarhi, District Buxar. 4. Thakur Mishra, son of Haridwar Mishra, Resident of Keshopur, Police Station Simari, District Buxar. 5. Sanjay Pandey, son of Ram Singhasan, resident of village- Nadanwa, Police Station Dinara, District Rohtas. … Petitioners. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. Bhola Rai, son of Bhagwan Rai, resident of village- Dhekuli, Police Station- Harhi, District Rohtas. … Opposite parties ----------- 6. 04.02.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel for the State. The prayer for quashing the order taking cognizance for an offence u/s 302 and 201/34 I.P.C. is based only on the ground that the FIR was delayed and in fact an earlier version was given in U. D. Case exonerating the petitioner. In the opinion of this court the issue of delay in institution of First Information report or that only one witness has supported the prosecution version can never be a ground for quashing of the entire 2 proceedings including the impugned order taking cognizance. That being so, this application is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
