IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25213 of 2007 NATHUNI SAH & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 7. 21.7.2009 This application has been filed for quashing the entire criminal proceeding in Motihari Complaint Case No. 121 of 2006 under Sections 498A, 323 and 341 of the Indian Penal Code and ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The ground for quashing the entire proceeding is that the petitioners have annexed a memorandum of partition (Annexure-3) to indicate that they are living separately from the husband of the complainant and as such have no concern with the day to day life of the complainant. Even if it is accepted that Annexure-3 is a correct document and these petitioners have no connection with the complainant and her husband, this Court cannot quash the entire proceeding on the basis of Annexure-3. Any such plea if at all can be raised at the time of framing of charge. In the result, this application is dismissed. P. Kumar (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
