IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.4297 of 2009 DR. AJIT KUMAR SHARMA s/o Shri R. N. Sharma, resident of village- Bidhipur, P.S. Bakhtiyarpur, District- Patna, at present posted as Veterinary Doctor, Kaira, P.S. Kaira, District- Jamui. ...Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …OP ----------- 2/ 09.08.2010 The petitioner seeks quashing of the First Information Report numbered as Khaira P.S. Case No.181 of 2005 dated 16.10.2005 instituted under section 134(1) of the Representation of Peoples Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks quashing on the ground that no offence whatsoever is made out since the veterinary doctors were exempted from election duty and even if chargesheet is submitted now, it would be hopelessly time barred. However, I am not inclined to entertain this application since it is well within the purview of the police to investigate and submit chargesheet in the matter. However, direction is given to the Investigating Officer to expedite the investigation and consider as to whether the Veterinary Doctors were exempted from election duty. With this observation, this application stands disposed of. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
