Bahadurganj, District – Kishanganj, at present Chairman of Nagar Panchayat, Bahadurganj …………….. Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar, 2.

Opp. Parties. ------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Bhola Prasad, Advocate For the State : Mr. Satyendra Prasad, APP For the Informant : Mr. Md. Najmul Hoda, Advocate ---------------------------------- 5/ 19.12.2011 Heard both sides. This application is directed to quash the First Information Report of Bahadurganj P.S. Case No. 89 of 2008 registered under sections 341, 342, 323, 353, 379, 420, 504 and 506/34 IPC and sections 3 and 4 of SC/ST (prevention of atrocities) Act on 10.7.2008. On perusal of the FIR, it appears that offence alleged is cognizable in nature for which, police has the authority to investigate and submit final form. Interfering in the investigation in exercise of power under section 482 Cr.P.C. will amount to interfere in the statutory right of investigation of the police. Accordingly, this application is devoid of merit and is dismissed. Needless to say, the petitioner shall have the liberty to raise all the points at the appropriate stage in the trial court in case 2 of submission of charge sheet. Anil/ ( Rajendra Kumar Mishra, J.)
