Mr. P.N. Sharma, AC to A.G ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SOURENDRA PANDEY ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD) 11-11-2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned AC to AG for the State of Bihar.

2. This writ application has been filed for issuance of a writ in the nature of Writ of Habeas Corpus directing the respondent authorities to trace and produce the daughter of the petitioner who is said to be missing since 06.10.2025.

3. Learned AC to AG has drawn the attention of this Court towards Annexure 'P/1' which is the copy of the first information report giving rise to Jamui P.S. Case No. 571 of

Patna High Court CR. WJC No.2925 of 2025(2) dt.11-11-2025 2/2 2025 for the offences punishable under Section 80/238 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita.

4. Learned AC to AG submits that on the one hand, a case for alleged dowry death of his daughter has been lodged by the petitioner and on the other hand, he is approaching this Court for tracing out the victim.

5. We have perused the FIR which is on the record. It appears that the petitioner is the informant of the case which has been registered for the alleged dowry death of his daughter and disappearance of the evidence by the accused persons.

6. In such circumstance, the present writ application seems to be misconceived. It is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the matter arising out of the FIR in accordance with law.
