IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.23555 of 2009 RAMASHISH PRASAD son of Deo Nandan Sao, Resident of Tekari Road, Gulzarbagh, Patna, Distirct- Patna ….Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Law Officer, Land Development Bank Ltd., Budha Marg, Patna …Opposite Parties ----------- 4/ 28.09.2010 Heard the parties. The petitioner has sought quashing of the First Information Report numbered as Buxar Town P.S. case no.16 of 2007 instituted on 16.1.2007. The petitioner has sought quashing of the First Information Report since in the meanwhile the petitioner had been departmentally proceeded against and he was exonerated in the departmental proceeding with merely warning “to be more careful in future”. It has been submitted that in view of this warning in departmental proceeding, where the petitioner’s liability is much lighter, the petitioner should not be proceeded against in a criminal case where the onus on the prosecution is much stricter. Since the case is still at the stage of investigation, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. However, it is open to the petitioner to approach the Investigating Officer of the present case through the Superintendent of Police and bring all these documents to his notice who will conclude the investigation within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
