IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43380 of 2007 1. RAM NIWAS THAKUR S/O LATE RAM NIRANJAN THAKUR 2. VINAY KUMAR THAKUR, S/O LATE RAM NIRANJAN THAKUR 3. RAMDEO THAKUR @ RAMDENI THAKUR, S/O LATE RAM NIRANJAN THAKUR 4. MANORAMA DEVI W/O SHRI RAM NIWAS THAKUR 5. ADITYA KUMAR, S/O SHRI RAM NIWAS THAKUR ( ALL RESIDENT OF VILL. BASUA, P.S. AURAI DIST. MUZAFFARPUR) --- PETITIONERS. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. MAHESH RAM S/O ETBARI RAM VILL. BASUA, P.S. AURAI, DISTT. MUZAFFARPUR. --- OPP. PARTIES. ----------- 04. 16.02.2010 Heard both sides. Vide order dated 15.01.2008 notice was issued to the opposite party no.2/complainant. Nobody has appeared on behalf of the opposite party no.2. Petitioners seeks to challenge order dated 18.06.2007, passed by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Muzaffarpur in complaint case no. 172 of 2006 (Trial No. 2276 of 2007), whereby and whereunder the learned Court below has taken cognizance under diverse Sections of the Penal Code. It is contended on behalf of the petitioners that the present complainant, namely, Mahesh Ram had on previous occasions also filed different proceedings against the petitioners in which acquittal and/or favourable orders were recorded by the Court in favour of the present petitioner. It is, thus, the contention that repeated proceedings, at the instance of the aforesaid complainant, is illegal. 2 Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State, on the other hand, opposed the application. It is contended that a bare perusal of the impugned order would show that complaint discloses cognizable offence which found support in course of inquiry in which as many as several witnesses were examined. This Court finds no merit in the application. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
