IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6983 of 2008 ***** Amit Bahadur son of Late Lalit Bahadur, resident of village- Amir Chand Kothi Chowk Ara, P.S.- Ara Town, District-Bhojpur. …. …. Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Om Prakash Tiwari, son of Late Bhuwaneshwar Tiwari, resident of Mohalla Mahajan Toli No.2, Ara, P.S. Ara Town, Distt. Bhojpur. …. …. Opposite parties ----------- 2. 9.4.2009. Petitioner has filed the present case because his prayer for holding of a joint trial for the two cases instituted against him has been rejected by the Chief Judicial Magistrate by order dated 10.1.2008. His submission is that since the so-called offences are similar in nature and close to each other and between the same parties, it should be tried together. The Court has perused the two cases, where for bouncing of cheques on two different occasions, cases have come to be filed against the petitioner. Both are substantive offences in their own right and the Chief Judicial Magistrate has committed no mistake by not clubbing them together for trial. The quashing application is devoid of any merit, it is accordingly dismissed. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
