JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 03-08-2018 This application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the petitioner for quashing the first information report of Rupauli P.S. Case No.216 of 2014 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 408, 409 read with 34 and 120 of the Indian Penal Code. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the first information report as contained in Annexure-2 to this application.

The allegations made in the first information report do attract ingredients of cognizable offence. To hold investigation into a cognizable offence is the statutory duty of

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42276 of 2016 (2) dt.03-08-2018 police.

In that view of the matter, I see no merit in this application. It is dismissed, accordingly.
