IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SLA No.13 of 2011 MANOJ KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR AND ORS. ----------- 02. 11.03.2011. I.A.No.566 of 2011 Heard. The prayer is to condone the delay about 14 days in filing the present petition seeking the special leave of this court to appeal against judgement dated 26.7.2010 passed by Sri Navin Kumar Thakur, Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Muzaffarpur(East) in Complaint Case No.846 of 2005, Tr.No.1927 of 2010 dated 26.7.2010. After having gone through the judgment what appears is that after immense opportunities being offered to the complainant, he could produce a solitary witness for evidence under Section 244 Cr.P.C. and in spite of substantial opportunities again being offered to him, he could not produce the particular witness or any further evidence in support of the charge under Sections 379 and 504/34 of the IPC as a result of which the prosecution evidence was closed and the four respondents were 2 acquitted. Regard being had to the record as is apparently made on the non-production of the evidence which resulted in acquittal of the respondents, this court is not inclined to condone the delay so as to granting special leave to appeal against acquittal of the respondents. The petition is dismissed on the point of limitation as also on the merits. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
