IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16466 of 2008 RAMDHANI PRASAD @ RAMDHANI PRASAD SONI son of late Indrajeet Prasad, resident of Mirza Tola, P.S.-Bettiah Town, Distric -West Champaran …… ……. Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR …… ……Opp. Party ----------- 2. 29.6.2010. No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. The sole petitioner, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this court under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, has prayed for quashing of the order dated 25.2.2008 passed by Sub. Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bettiah, West Champaran, in Trial No.2117 of 2007 arising out of Bettiah Town P.S. Case No.146 of 2001. By the said order the learned Magistrate has rejected the petition filed for discharge under section 239 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on behalf of the petitioner. I have perused the impugned order as well as materials available on the record. From the first information report it appears that it was registered on the basis of written complaint of an officer of Education Department against one Gaya Prasad Srivastava, retired Principal of the school on an allegation that he recommended an application for granting provident fund amount, Group Insurance etc. to the legal heirs of this petitioner and also for appointment of the son of the petitioner, namely, Shailesh Kumar Soni on compassionate ground whereas the petitioner was alive. After registering first information report, it was thoroughly investigated by the police, which was supervised by 2 Superintendent of Police and, thereafter, Charge sheet was submitted against this petitioner for the offences under sections 420, 467 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code. From annexure-2 to the petition it appears that the petitioner was put on suspension. However, he had challenged the order of suspension vide C.W.J.C. No.3915 of 2001 which was allowed and order of suspension was set aside by this court. The order passed in C.W.J.C. No.3915 of 2001 has got no relevance in the present case. On perusal of the record as well as the impugned order, I do not find any defect in the order dated 25.2.2008 wherby the learned Magistrate has rejected the discharge petition. The learned Magistrate, while rejecting the discharge petition, had examined the entire materials including case diary and, thereafter, by assigning reason has rejected the same. Accordingly, I do not find any material on record warranting this court to exercise inherent jurisdiction in favour of the petitioner and the petition stands rejected. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
