IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR.MISC. NO.38299 OF 2009 SHASHANK KUMAR @ RAJU, SON OF SRI SACHIDANAND SINGH, RESIDENT OF MOHALLA PURENDRAPUR, DO PULWA, POLICE STATION JAKKANPUR, DISTRICT PATNA VERSUS THE STATE OF BIHAR ************ 2 13/11/2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 04.05.2009 by which the Court below has framed charges under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The submission is that charges were framed on 04.05.2009 and till date the complainant is not appearing in the case and is delaying the trial. It is submitted that the petitioner has to appear on each and every date whereas the complainant is not cooperating with the Court below in this matter. As far as the order dated 04.05.2009, I find that it does not suffer from any infirmity. This application is accordingly dismissed. However, the Trial Court is directed to take steps to expedite the trial and ensure that the complainant appears in this case to lead evidence. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
