IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3982 of 2009 MD.TASLIMUDDIN S/O LATE AMJAD ALI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 04.08.2010 The petitioner seeks quashing of the entire proceeding of Araria P.S. Case No. 19 of 1982 dated 19.1.1982 instituted for offences under Section 144 and 188 of the Indian Penal Code. The case of the prosecution is that despite promulgation of orders under Section 144 Cr.P.C. the petitioner and other agitators defied the same and were therefore liable for prosecution under Section 144 and 188 I.P.C. It has been submitted that even though the case was instituted on 19.1.82 till date the same is continuing and the end does not seem to be insight for reasons best known to the prosecution and evidently the petitioner is entitled to be exonerated from the case on this score alone. Considering the same this application is allowed and the entire proceedings of Araria P.S. Case No. 19 of 1982 dated 19.1.1982 pending before Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Araria, is hereby quashed. Fahad. (Anjana Prakash, J)
