IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.804 of 2006 HASNAIN AZIM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 11 21.7.2008 KHAN In the instant writ petition the petitioner seeks quashing of criminal prosecution arising out of Bahadurpur P.S.Case No.96 of 2006 instituted by Opposite Party No.8 under section 498A of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no cause of action took place in the district of Darbhanga and as such the instant prosecution case launched at Darbhanga is not maintainable. He further submits that the alleged occurrence took place at Muzaffarpur and as such the instant case ought to have been filed at Muzaffarpur. He submits that cognizance of offence has already been taken on 25.5.2007 which he has challenged by filing Interlocutory Application in this case. In my view, the petitioner should file regular quashing application against the order taking cognizance. No useful purpose would be served by pursuing this writ petition. With the aforesaid observations, this writ petition stands dismissed. (S.P.Singh,J)
