IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SLA No.37 of 2007 RAM BAHADUR SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 6. 23.7.2008 This application has been preferred against the order dated 19.1.2007 passed by S.D.J.M., Khagaria, in Complaint Case no.199C/1998 by which opposite party no.2 has been acquitted of charge under sections 182, 420, 468, 469 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The complaint case has been filed by the complainant, who is the president of the Managing Committee of Ram Lakhan High School, Baltara. It is alleged that opposite party no.2 was an assistant teacher of the aforesaid school and on 28.10.1992 he committed theft of some documents of the school as well as pad and seal also. On 16.6.1993 the Managing Committed issued a resolution of dismissal from service of opposite party no.2 and extended the service of Sri Sachchidanand Singh, the headmaster of the said school, who was to retire on 29.12.1996, till 1998. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the learned trial court has not considered some of the relevant documents while considering the evidence. It appears from the order of the trial court that opposite party no.2 was reinstated as headmaster pursuant to the order of this Court in Civil Revision. It appears that learned trial court has discussed the evidence of P.Ws. quite in detail. He has found that P.W.1, Mahesh Chandra Bharti, has not been able to specifically state that opposite party no.2 has committed any offence as alleged. - 2 - Similarly, he did not find anything from the evidence of P.Ws. 2, 3, 4 and 5 with regard to involvement of the opposite party no.2 in commission of the offence. As such, I find that the trial court has given cogent reasons for coming to the conclusion that the prosecution has not been able to prove the charge against the opposite party no.2. In that view of the matter, I do not find any reason to interfere with order of the learned S.D.J.M., Khagaria, passed in Complaint Case no.199C/1998. The special leave to appeal stands dismissed accordingly. sudip ( S. P. Singh, J )
