IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.51747 of 2007 YADU NANDAN PRASAD, S/O LATE RAMESHWAR PRASAD, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KANTI, P.S. FATEHPUR, DISTRICT GAYA. ... ... PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ... ... OPPOSITE PARTY. ---- For the Petitioner : Mr. Virendra Prasad, Adv. For the State : Mr. A.M.P. Mehta, A.P.P. ----------- 6. 28.10.2010. The sole petitioner, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, in some and substance, has prayed for quashing of an F.I.R. in Fatehpur P.s. Case No.48 of 1987 registered under Sections 406, 409, 420, 469 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code. In ordinary course, this Court is not entertaining such prayer, while hearing a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. However, in the present case, keeping in view the peculiar facts and circumstances as well as treating the present case as an exceptional case, this court was persuaded to examine the matter. In the present case, a prayer was made that the aforesaid F.I.R. was lodged in the year 1987 and thereafter, police has not bothered to submit final report. Earlier by an order 2 N.H./ dated 7.4.2007, a report was called for from the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya in connection with Fatehpur P.S. Case No.48 of 1987. Report has been received, which is kept at flag ‘X’. Vide letter no.1808 dated 30.9.2010, the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya has intimated that till date, final form has not been submitted by the Investigating Officer concerned and matter is pending for the same. In view of the pendency of investigation for such a long period, the court is of the view that treating the present case as exceptional case, it is desirable to quash the F.I.R. Accordingly, F.I.R. in Fatehpur P.S. Case No.48 of 1987 is hereby set aside and petition stands allowed. ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
