This application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the petitioners for quashing of the First Information Report of Mahila P.S.Case No. 19 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 341, 323, 324 and 379 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegations made in the First Information Report lodged on the basis of written report of the opposite party no.2 do
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.799 of 2018 (2) dt.17-07-2018 2/2 attract ingredients of a cognizable offence. It is well settled that if a cognizable offence is reported to the S.H.O., he is bound to register the same as First Information Report and investigate the same.
In that view of the matter, I see no merit in this application. It is accordingly dismissed.
