2. Petitioners seek quashing of the cognizance order dated 06.05.2010 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Barh thereby taking cognizance of offence under Sections 323, 341, 385, 379, 427, 447 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code .
3. The brief fact giving rise to the case is that complainant had taken Kailash Cold Storage on lease for five years from Sri Nandan Prasad, father-in-law of the petitioner no. 1
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7723 of 2015 (3) dt.04-01-2018 2/2 on the annual rent of Rs. 51,000/-. He had been paying the rent since 15.01.2007 but after death of Sri Nandan Prasad, who died leaving behind only a daughter, his son-in-law (petitioner no. 1) came alongwith his other associates, other petitioners, on 29.03.2010 at the Cold Storage and dragged him out from the Cold Storage, assaulted him with the butt of the pistol along with others and put his lock on the Cold Storage.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that there was an unregistered lease deed only for a period of three years, the period of lease had expired and also the case of the complainant is improbable that a person would keep Rs. 1,25,000/- in the Cold Storage!
5. Having considered the rival submissions and on perusal of record, the Court finds that it is not the case that the allegations made in the complaint do not disclose any offence. So this application stands dismissed.
