IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.53603 of 2007 BISHWADEO NARAYAN SINGH …PETITIONER Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. MR. NAVIN KUMAR, EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, RURAL ENGINEERING ORGNAISATION WORK DIVISION, CHAPRA. …OPPOSITE PARTIES For the petitioner: Mr.Rajendra Prasad Singh, Sr. Advocate For the State : Mr. Nityanand Tiwary,APP ----------- 03. 03.09.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. Petitioner assails the lodging of the FIR. It appears that FIR was preceded by an enquiry in which the petitioner was given a show cause notice and explanation was obtained. As per the allegation, the petitioner was found involved in obtaining and producing a fake and interpolated matriculation certificate. It is further alleged that his date of birth on verification from the Bihar School Examination Board was found as 2nd January, 1945, whereas the petitioner produced the certificate issued by the same Board in which his date of birth was shown as 2nd January, 1946. Resultantly, he was privileged with one year extra service in government. The FIR thus discloses a cognizable offence. In that view of the matter the same cannot be interfered with. There is no merit in this application which is accordingly dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
