IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2247 of 2009 SUNIL KUMAR JHA & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 4. 09.04.2010. Heard both the sides. The petitioners seek the relief under Sections 205 of the Cr.P.C. so as to be exempted from personal appearance and by allowing him to be represented by a counsel. The facts of the case has not been narrated by the learned Magistrate in his order dated 13.8.2008 but a copy of the complaint petition has been enclosed as per which the husband of the complainant was abducted, confined and illtreated. Besides, he was forced to sign a few blank papers as well. The enmity between the parties could be the reason for the occurrence. The petitioners have been summoned under Sections 323, 365, 379 and 504/34 of the Penal Code. In the background of such serious allegations as have been made against the petitioners, the court finds that it will be simply an abuse of its powers if it directs the petitioner to be exempted from personal appearance and to be represented by a counsel of his choice. The petition under Section 205 of - 2 - the Cr.P.C. filed by the petitioners was properly rejected by the impugned order. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
