IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2964 of 2011 ARTI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR. ----------- 2/ 13.4.2011 After having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the court is not inclined to quash the proceeding arising out of Saharsa Sadar P.S. Case no. 496 of 2009 (G.R. No. 1758 of 2009) in which the petitioner has been summoned on the basis of the police report. The contention was that for similar allegations, one of the sisters of the informant, namely, Sapna Kumari has also filed a complaint case bearing no. 1402 of 2009. If it is so, as may appear to the court, who is seized with Complaint Case no. 1402 of 2009, then the court shall look to the provision of section 210 of the Cr.P.C., which requires that in case a police case and a complaint case simultaneously remain pending against same set of accused persons, then the proceeding in complaint case shall remain stayed and accordingly, the court below shall stay the proceedings of the complaint case bearing no. 1402 of 2009. But, for that, the petitioner shall have to approach the court before whom the above noted complaint is pending, by filing a petition under section 210 of the Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of with the aforementioned observations. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
