JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 28-07-2016 This application has been filed seeking quashing of the First Information Report of Murhu Police Station Case No. 80 of 2014. The said Murhu Police Station is within the State of Jharkhand.

Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted, referring the First Information Report that part cause of action for registration of the First Information Report had

Patna High Court Cr. WJC No.356 of 2016 (3) dt.28-07-2016 2/2 arisen within the jurisdiction of this Court and, therefore, this Court can exercise power under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India for quashing of the First Information Report. The submission, so advanced, on behalf of the petitioners, is absolutely misconceived. This Court cannot quash a criminal proceeding pending in a Court, beyond the territorial jurisdiction of this High Court.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
