IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6243 of 2009 SADHNA SINGH W/O MITHILESH KUMAR SINGH Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. CHANDRALEKHA SINGH W/O NAWAL KISHORE @ NAWAL SINGH ----------- 2. 18.08.2010 The petitioner has sought quashing of the order dated 3.6.2008 passed in Complaint Case no. 2418/2006 by which the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hajipur at Vaishali has taken cognizance under Sections 452, 323, 427 and 504 of I.P.C. on the ground that no sanction had been obtained by the court below before taking cognizance. For this reason the learned counsel for the petitioner has cited a decision reported in 2000 Vol.4 BLJR 504, wherein it was stated that the provision of Section 197 should not be interpreted narrowly and even if a police officer has committed some excesses in discharge of his official duties sanction u/s 197 Cr.P.C. was still required. In my view since the document which have been annexed by way of demonstrating the bona fides of the petitioner are defence 2 documents and they do not show that the complainant was sought to be arrested for any offence, this court is unable to consider the same at this stage. The application is dismissed. Fahad. ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
