IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1410 of 2009 MANOJ PATHAK & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2. 2.4.2010. Heard both the sides. As regards the order dated 5.1.2008 passed in Hajipur Sadar P.S.case No.209 of 2004 by Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur, the same appears perfectly within the four corners of law and fact, as a result of which the petition appears of no merit and the same is dismissed. However, the contention was that the wife and the husband, i.e., the petitioner no.1 and Opposite Party no.2 have compromised the case and there is no ill-will between the petitioners and the informant. It was further contended that a copy of the compromise petition which was presented before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur was also sent to the police but the police did not act upon that and submitted chargesheet in the case resulting into the order dated 5.1.2008. Let the lower court, i.e., Sri R.N.S.Pandey, Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class or his successor in his office be directed to hear - 2 - the parties on compromise petition. The lady must appear and the court must verify about the genuineness of the compromise petition. If the compromise is found genuinely affected between the parties resulting into the earlier filing of the compromise petition then the court below shall record the evidence of the complainant/informant and her witnesses in a week’s time and shall dispose of the case by all means in a month’s time.
