IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19129 of 2010 LALAN KUMAR SINHA SON OF LATE MOHAN PRASAD, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE HASANPUR, P.S. HILSA, DISTRICT NALANDA …. PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 11.2.2011 The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 22.6.2009 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna in Kadamkuan P.S. case No.664 of 2000, by which he has taken cognizance u/s.414 I.P.C. and 25(1-B)A, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act. The prosecution case is that on the statement of one Rambabu Singh, who was an accused in another case, the premises where the petitioner was residing was raided and from his house a pistol said to have been belonging to Pappu Singh was recovered. The Counsel for the petitioner contends that no sanction was taken before prosecuting the petitioner as also that the petitioner is not residing in the house and in any way it is not in the exclusive possession of the petitioner. The further submission is that the petitioner happens to be the brother-in- law of Pappu Singh and admittedly the pistol belonged to Pappu Singh. Considering that sanction can be obtained at any stage in such matters as also that whether the petitioner was residing exclusively in the said premises cannot be considered at this stage as also that undoubtedly the pistol was recovered 2 from the said premises where the petitioner was allegedly residing, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. The application is dismissed. Narendra/ ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
