IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45542 of 2008 1. Rajesh Sah, Son of Late Bihari Sah 2. Jay Devi, Wife of Late Bihari Sah Both residents of Village Bhadwar, PS Chandi, District Bhojpur ---- Petitioners Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. Rekha Devi, Wife of Rajesh Sah and Daughter-in-law of Jawahir Sah, Resident of Village Bhadwar, PS Chandi, District Bhojpur at present residing at Village Jamira, PS Ara Muffasil, District Bhojpur ----- Opposite Parties. ----------- 2 4.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. This application has been filed challenging the order of cognizance dated 19.5.2007, passed in Chandi P.S. Case No. 101 of 2006, arising out of Complaint Case No. 220 (C) of 2006. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that it is the husband who is said to have demanded dowry. It is further said that the lady wants to live alone with her husband, and as such, when the husband refused to give up his parents, she has lodged this false case. I do not think that the matter would have been remained pending at the stage of cognizance since more than five years have elapsed since the order has been passed and there is no order of stay by this Court. In any event, the petitioners may raise all the points raised before this Court at the appropriate stage of the case. For the present, this Court finds that there is prima facie case made out against the petitioners. There is no merit in this application. This application is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
