OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- For the Petitioners : None For the State : Mrs. Indu Bala Pandey, A.P.P. ----- 2. 29.6.2010. When the case was called out, none appeared on behalf of the petitioners either to press the petition or to make a prayer for adjournment. Four petitioners, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, have prayed for quashing of an order, which was passed long back on 13.12.2005 in Complaint Case No.2339 of 2004 by Shri N. Prasad, Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Katihar. By the said order, the learned Magistrate had taken cognizance of the offence under Section 394 of the Indian Penal Code. I have perused the impugned order. I 2 N.H./ do not find any defect in the order of cognizance dated 13.12.2005. Moreover, after lapse of about five years, it is not advisable for this Court to exercise inherent jurisdiction in favour of the petitioners. Accordingly, the petition stands rejected.
