IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.48404 of 2008 Shiv Shankar Ram & Anr Versus The State Of Bihar & Anr ----------- For the Petitioner---- Mr Prafful Chandra Jha Mr. Satish Kumar Singh For the State ------- Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhya 2 23.08.2011 This application, under Section 482 Cr.P.C is for quashing the F.I.R of bearing Muzaffarpur Town Police Case No. 376/07 dated 19.9.2007 registered under Section 7 of the E.C Act. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that although the Kerosene Oil was supplied but the supply of Rice in question does not arise as since the month of June 2007 to September 2007 not a single Kg. of Rice was supplied to the petitioner by the food and Civil Supply Corporation limited in spite of depositing the amount through the Bank Draft for the months of June and July for the supply of Rice. Infact the seized Rice bags were not the Rice bags supplied by the Civil Supply Corporation limited rather the same Rice bags were belonging to Ravi Kant son of petitioner No. 1 who was running the business of Rice and the Rice were purchased from Rohtas and carried by the Truck which will appear from Annexure 4 series. It appears from the F.I.R that the allegation has been made against the petitioners who are fair price shop dealer, to sale the Keroscene oil in black market and storing more rice bags than that supplied for black market. The offence as per the F.I.R appears to be of Section 7 of the E.C.Act which is cognizable offence. As far as the 2 defence of petitioners that the rice bags were of Ravikant son the petitioner No. 1 who is doing the rice business is concerned the document as Annexured as annexure-4 series are not the admitted documents. As, such I do not find any merit in the submission for interference in inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C in investigation in cognizable offence. Accordingly this petition is dismissed.
