IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26723 of 2008 1. Shailesh Sharma, son of Sheo Dutta Sharma, 2. Saket Kr. Sharma @ Saket Sharma, son of Sheo Dutta Sharma, 3. Priti Sharma, wife of Saket Sharma, all of Keyal, PS Karpi, District Arwal, at present Qr.No.CD-146, PS Hatia, Dist. Ranchi, Jharkhand – petitioners. Vs. 1. The State of Bihar, 2. Archana Kumari, wife of Shailesh Sharma, and daughter of Rajendra Prasad Singh, resident of Mahatna Gandhi Nagar, Patrakar Nagar, Patna – opp. parties. 3 21.12.2009 Heard the parties. By this application the petitioners have challenged the jurisdiction of the court at Ranchi to try the case, as according to the petitioners, the jurisdiction would lie in Jharkhand or Madhya Pradesh. Counsel for the informant, on the other hand, submits that there was a demand made at Patna and in view of the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure the trial can take place at either of the three places. This question had been challenged by the petitioners by filing Cr. Misc. No. 20274/2008. In that quashing petition this question had also been raised by filing a revision petition in the court below. The court below has dismissed the case of the petitioners. The petitioners had not moved this court challenging the order of the revisional court and as such the order of the revisional court became final as far as question of jurisdiction is concerned. It appears that the petitioners had also filed a petition under section 212 Cr.P.C. which was dismissed by the court below. Against that order, dated 20.8.2008 the petitioners have filed Cr. 2 Revision No. 692/2008 which stood dismissed. At present the trial has already began and there appears to be dispute with respect to the place where the occurrence is said to have taken place. Therefore, it would now be appropriate for the petitioners to raise this issue, if so advised, at the time of the trial in the case in view of sections 177 and 178 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This application is dismissed. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
