IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Writ No.598 of 2011 Sanjay Kumar, son of Late Phuldeo Prasad, resident of Village-Maldah, P.S.-Barbigha, District- Sheikhpura. ---Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through Vigilance, Bihar, Patna. 2. Secretary to the Government of Bihar, Law Department, Old Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Secretary to the Government of Bihar, Registration, Excise Prohibition Department, Bihar, Patna. ---Respondents ---------------------------------- 2. 9.9.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the Vigilance. This application is for modification of the order dated 7th February, 2011 passed in Cr.W.J.C. No.680 of 2010, whereby the aforesaid writ application upon detailed consideration was dismissed for want of merit. The said writ application was filed for quashing the order dated 7th of October, 2009 sanctioning the prosecution of the petitioner vide Vigilance P.S. Case No.86 of 2009 registered on 19th of August, 2009 for the alleged offences under sections 13(2) read with section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that while granting sanction for prosecution of the petitioner, detailed relevant materials were not placed before the authority concerned. Learned counsel appearing for the Vigilance opposes the writ application and submits that this writ application is absolutely a frivolous application as the same has been filed for - 2 - ulterior purposes. The writ application assailing the aforesaid order sanctioning the prosecution was assailed in the writ application vide Cr.W.J.C. No.680 of 2010, which was dismissed on merits on 7th of February, 2011 and, as such, this writ application filed in the garb of modification is fit to be dismissed. Considering the submissions of the parties and the averments made in this writ application, I do not find any worth considering modifying the earlier order dated 7th of February, 2011, which is sought to be modified in this writ application. This writ application being devoid of any merit is dismissed. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
