IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.15803 of 2011 Ram Pravesh Sharma S/O Late Ram Briksha Sharma Resident Of Village Jagmal Bigha, P.O.- Katauna, P.S.- Khusrupur, District- Patna Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Birendra Prasad Singh, Assistant Superintendent Bihar State Ware Housing Corporation, P.S.- Laheri, Biharsharif, District- Nalanda ---------------------------------- 2 17/10/2011. In the instant writ petition the petitioner prays for quashing letter no. 111 dated 1.8.2011, issued by respondent no.2 for lodging suppl FIR against 11 persons including the petitioner in connection with the offence for which already Laheri Police Station Case No. 164 of 2011 dated 28.7.2011 has been instituted by him (respondent no.2). The petitioner submits that though there is provision of lodging of the FIR but there is no provision of lodging any Suppl. FIR. As such, the impugned letter dated 1.8.2011, contained in annexure 4 is bad in law. Mr Mani Kant Mishra, learned GP 25 appearing for the State submits that it may be possible that the aforesaid letter may not be acted upon, if there is no provision for lodging of the Suppl. FIR. He further submits that police can add names of persons against whom materials come in course of investigation. Chapter XII of the Cr.P.C. deals with information to the police and their powers to investigate cases but no where there is provision of lodging Suppl FIR. In view of the aforesaid provision of law, letter no. 2 111 dated 1.8.2011, issued by respondent no.2 is set aside. However, in course of investigation if police finds materials against persons other than named in the FIR, it is within the jurisdiction to file charge sheet against them. The petition stands disposed of. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
