IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43373 of 2007 Bablu Dhokri @ Bablu Lal Dhokri, S/o Gopal Lal Dhokri, Resident of Dwarika, Police Statioin Civil Lines, District Gaya. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. State of Bihar. 2. Ranjit Lal Bhaiya, S/o Krishna Lal Bhaiya, Resident of Mohalla Karsilli, Baidyanath Baithak, Vishnu Pad, Police Line Station Civil Lines, District Gaya. ------ Opp. Parties ----------- 4 19.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The impugned order taking cognizance for offence u/s 147, 323 and 504 I.P.C. in this case is sought to be assailed by the petitioner on the ground that infact the counter version (Annexure-2) of the same occurrence as lodged by the petitioner is more true and correct version. In the opinion of this Court, the counter case of the petitioner is purely his defence version and cannot be looked into atleast at the stage of taking cognizance. However, the interest of justice would require that since the same occurrence has given rise to two criminal cases both of them should be tried together. In that view of the matter the concerned District and Sessions Judge is hereby directed to ensure that the trial of GR 2 No. 1707/2006 arising out of Civil Lines P.S. Case No. 282 of 2005 and that of Civil P.S. Case No. 284 of 2005 is conducted and completed by the same court and if necessary by transferring one of them to the other court. With the aforesaid observation and direction this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
