IN THE HIGH COUR T OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1867 of 2011 Ram Charitra Singh Versus The State Of Bihar & Anr. ----------- 3 20.10.2011 The main grievance of the petitioner happens to be that continuance of two proceedings for the same cause of action if permitted will be against the mandate of Section 300 Cr.P.C. as well as Article 20(3) of the Constitution. Earlier vide order dated 02.02.2011 the court had taken cognizance thereof and in the aforesaid background parties were added as opposite party who in spite of having been noticed, failed to respond. Further submitted that one case happens to be the Gardanibagh P.S. Case No.246 of 2007 which was instituted on 23.6.2007 and the other Surajgarha P.S. Case no.197 of 2007 which was instituted on 01-07-2007. That means to say, Gardanibagh P.S. Case No.246 of 2007 was instituted prior to institution of Surajgarha P.S. Case no.197 of 2007. Therefore, it is hereby ordered that let Surajgarha P.S. Case no.197 of 2007 be amalgamated with Gardanibagh P.S. Case No.246 of 2007. With the aforesaid finding instant petition is deposed of.
