IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12781 of 2008 1. PADAM SHEKHAR JHA , Son of Late Rameshwar Jha 2. Abha Devi, Wife of Sri Padam Shekhar Jha 3. Darambir Jha, Son of Padam Shekhar Jha, All residents of Village- Bargaon, Police Station- Sonebarsa, District-Saharsa ------------- Petitioners Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Jai Prakash Narain Jha, Son of Ram Nath Jha, resident of Village- Sipahi Tola, Police Station-K.Hat, District-Purnea ----------------- Opp.Parties. ----------- 03 23-06-2010 Today again when the case was called out, none has come forward on behalf of the petitioners either to press this petition or to make a prayer for adjournment. On 21.6.2010 , when the case was called out , none had appeared . However, the case was adjourned for the day with an indication that no further adjournment shall be granted. The petitioners, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, have prayed for quashing of the F.I.R. against the petitioners, which was lodged as K.Hat P.S. Case No.74 of 2007 under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. I have perused the F.I.R., which discloses commission of the offences and, as such, it is difficult for this Court to exercise inherent jurisdiction in favour of the petitioners and accordingly, the present petition stands rejected.
