IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR WJC No 863 of 2011 Joyjeet Dutta, son of late Amulratna Dutta, resident of Mohalla – Manik Sarkar, Bhagalpur, P S – Adampur in the Town and District of Bhagalpur - Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar through the District Magistrate, Katihar 2 The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna 3 The Zonal Inspector General of Police, Purnea 4 The Superintendent of Police, Katihar 5 Sri Animesh Kumar Singh, resident of Mohalla – Navneet Nagar, P S – Katihar Town, District – Katihar 6 Shilpa Kumari @ Devi, wife of Sri Joyjeet Dutta and daughter of Sri Animesh Kumar Singh, resident of Navneet Nagar, P S – Katihar Town, District – Katihar - Respondents ----------- 2 06.09.2011 The petitioner is the husband and alleges that he had contracted intercaste marriage with respondent No 6 at Gaya on 01.08.2009. He alleges that his wife is not being permitted to join him because of the intercaste marriage. He submits that on 02nd of August 2009, they had appeared before the SHO, Gaya and given an information that they are being threatened by their parents because of intercaste marriage. The SHO, Gaya sent a report to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya and upon information given, the parents were noticed who appeared. All this Court observes that the parents were residents of Katihar, the information was given on 02nd August, 2009 and parents appeared there on the information given by the police on 08.08.2009. What is more curious is that the police sends the petitioner to the Chief Judicial Magistrate. We wonder under what provision, it is happening. Be that as it may, as petitioner wants restitution of conjugal rights for which he has already filed a case before the 2 Principal Judge, Family Court, Katihar, he should pursue the matter there. We expect that the Principal Judge, Family Court would take appropriate steps including the girl to appear in person and dispose of the matter at an early date. In our view, the writ petition is misconceived and is disposed of as such. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh) (Ashwani Kumar Singh)
