THE OFFICER INCHARGE, CHERIA BARIARPUR(MAJHAUL) POLICE STATION IN THE DISTRICT OF BEGUSARAI----RESPONDENTS ----------- For the petitioner:- Mr.Akhileshwar Prasad Singh,Advocate For the State:- Assistant Counsel to Additional Advocate General No.II 2 10.2.2009 This application has been filed for quashing the First Information Report bearing Cheria Bariarpur (Majhaul) P.s. case No. 71 of 2008. Mr. Akhileshwar Prasad Singh, appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no hand in commission of the crime. I am afraid, this is a matter of investigation and this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India would not quash the First Information Report on that ground. Mr. Singh, then contends that First Information Report has been submitted to the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate which has no - 2 - jurisdiction to try the case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Chief Judicial Magistrate is not trying the case. Even if the First Information Report has been filed in a wrong Court, this would not justify quashing of the First Information Report itself. I do not find any merit in the application and it is dismissed in limine with cost of Rs.500/- to be paid by the petitioner to the State. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,ACJ.) A.Kumar
