IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25138 of 2007 1. Rishikesh Mishra, Son of Late Bhrigvansh Mishra, Resident of Narhan State, P.S. Vibhutipur, District Samastipur. 2. Shashi Bhushan Mishra, Son of Late Ugra Narayan, Resident of Narhan State, P.S. Vibhutipur, District Samastipur. ------- Petitioners Versus 1. State of Bihar. 2. Raju Choudhary, Son of Sri Pachu Choudhary, Resident of Chakbaudin Police Station dalsingh Sarai, District Samastipur, Presently working as Assistantly Teacher Rajkiya Madhya Vidhyalaya (Narhan) Samastipur. ------- Opposite Parties ----------- 5 4.2.2010 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. This is the second time when this case has gone unattended and therefore, this Court instead of dismissing this application for default would shortly record the order on merit, inasmuch as, the trial of this case has only been held up on account of pendency of this quashing application. From reading of the impugned order taking cognizance and the copy of the First Information Report, this Court would find that a teacher belonging to the schedule caste category was subjected to all sort of torture and humiliation in the hands of the petitioner. This Court would not like to comment anything more to the allegations made 2 in the First Information Report but then it would find that they do make out an offence under Section 341 & 504 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(X) of the Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. That being so, this Court would not find any infirmity in the order taking cognizance and accordingly, this application being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) .
