IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44903 of 2007 ARUN KUMAR GUPTA & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2/ 16-01-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. This Court finds no infirmity in the impugned order of cognizance taken after examining the complainant on oath. Section 200 Cr. P.C. specifically states that the Magistrate shall take cognizance after examining on oath the complainant and the witnesses present, if any. He initially examined the complainant on oath. If that satisfies the matter, the absence of the witnesses cannot be any infirmity. This Court finds no merit warranting interference with the impugned order taking cognizance in Complaint Case no. 164 of 1991 by the A.C.J.M., Naugachhia. This application is accordingly dismissed.
