IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25717 of 2008 SMT.KANCHAN KEJRIWAL @ KANCHAN KEJRIWAL, WIFE OF SRI K.K. KEJRIWAL, RESIDENT OF JAIL ROAD, TILKAMANJHI, P.S. TILKAMANJHI, IN THE TWON AND DISTRICT OF BHAGALPUR, PROPRIETOR M/S. AUTO ENTERPRISES, TILKAMANJHI, BHAGALPUR. ------ PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 05.05.2011 Heard the parties. The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 4.12.2003 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur, by which cognizance has been taken under Section 59 of the Standards of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985 in P.S. Case No. 208 of 2003. It has been submitted that even though the alleged occurrence was committed on 19.8.1999 the complaint case was filed on 25.9.2003 and cognizance was taken on 4.12.2003. Section 59 of the Act provides for 2,000/- fine and, therefore, evidently, the complaint and the cognizance was hopelessly barred by limitation. Since the point of law has been raised, there is no need to issue notice to the Complainant. In the result, the application is allowed and the order taking cognizance dated 4.12.2003 passed in P.S. Case No. 208 of 2003 by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur, is quashed. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
