JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 04-05-2017 By way of the present application preferred under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioners seek quashing of the order dated 26.04.2012 passed by the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bikramganj in Sanjhouli P.S. Case No. 36 of 2011 whereby on perusal of police report submitted under Section 173(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.44624 of 2013 dt.04-05-2017 2 / 3 'Cr.P.C.'), the learned Magistrate has found a prima facie case to be made out under Sections 342, 323, 353, 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against the petitioners.
2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.
3. It would be evident from the written report dated 15.09. 2011 submitted by the Block Agriculture Officer, Sanjholi to the Officer-in-charge, Sanjhouli police station that a prima facie cognizable offence is made out against the petitioners, the allegations made in the written report pursuant to which the FIR was instituted, were found to be true during investigation by the police.
4. Since on completion of investigation, the police submitted charge-sheet against the petitioners and on perusal of the statements of the witnesses recorded under Section 161(3) of the Cr.P.C. in the case diary and the substance of accusation recorded in the police report submitted under section 173 of the Cr.P.C., the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate took cognizance of the offences and summoned the petitioners to face trial, I see no illegality in the impugned order passed by the learned Magistrate.
5. Accordingly, the application, being devoid of
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.44624 of 2013 dt.04-05-2017 3 / 3 any merit, is dismissed.
