IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16470 of 2008 1. Dev Chandra Mishra, Son of Late Chitra Narayan Mishra 2. Narayani Mishra W/O Dev Chandra Mishra 3. Abhay Kumar Mishra, Son of Dev Chandra Mishra All of Village- Tatuar, P.S. Manigachchi, District-Darbhanga -- Petitioners Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 30-06-2010 When the case was called out, no one appeared on behalf of the petitioner either to press this petition or to make a prayer for adjournment. Yesterday (i.e. 29.06.2010) also, none had appeared on behalf of the petitioners. However, Sri Nirbhay Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant and Smt. Indu Bala Pandey, learned Addl.Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the State were present. Today again Sri Nirbhay Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant and Smt. Indu Bala Pandey, learned Addl.Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the State are present. It has been submitted by Sri Singh, learned counsel for the informant that the petitioners are not interested in the present case and, as such, none has come forward. Three petitioners, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, have prayed for quashing of the order dated 25.2.2008 passed in Laheriasarai P.S. Case No.415 of 2006 by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Darbhanga. By the said order, the learned Magistrate has taken cognizance of the offences under Sections 406.420, 506,120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Sri Singh, learned counsel for the informant has further informed the Court that in this case after order of cognizance, charges have already been framed and the evidence in the case is going on. It was submitted that four prosecution witnesses have already been examined. In view of the fact that the trial has already commenced and four witnesses have already been examined, there is no point to entertain the present case, which has primarily been filed against the order of cognizance. Accordingly, I do not find merit in the present petition and the petition stands rejected. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J)
