IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17873 of 2010 RAM SURAT OJHA SON OF LATE SURAJ OJHA, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE DHABRI, P.S. BEHIAN, DISTRICT BHOJPUR ….. PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. RAJ NARAIN OJHA, SON OF SRI RAM SUCHIT OJHA, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE DHABRI, P.S. BEHIAN, DISTRICT BHOJPUR …. OPPOSITE PARTIES ----------- 2. 24.01.2011 The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 17.12.2009 passed in Criminal Revision No.99 of 2009, by which the Sessions Judge, Bhojpur, Ara has confirmed the order dated 21.3.2009 passed by the S.D.M., Jagdishpur in Case No.26 of 2008, by which he has attached the lands and ordered the Officer Incharge of Behian Police Station to harvest the crop standing thereon and deposit the sale proceed in the court. It has been submitted that the proceeding u/s.144 Cr.P.C. was initiated on 28.3.2008, which was converted to one u/s.145 Cr.P.C. on 14.5.2008 and while the application was pending without disposing of the final matter, the court below has passed this order of attachment as an interim measure. In my view since the proceedings were initiated on 28.3.2008, the S.D.M. Jagdishpur should have taken pains to conclude the same expeditiously to ensure that there was no further complication on account of the disputed piece of land. In view of such, the application is disposed of with 2 the direction to the S.D.M. Jagdishpur in Case No. 26 of 2008 to conclude the proceeding positively within a period of nine months from the date of receipt of this order. Narendra/ ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
