Date:
20. 08-2013 The Petitioners seek quashing of the entire proceeding including the order of cognizance dated 13.6.2007 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Chapra in Trial No.3557 of 2007 arising out of Complaint case No.3294 of 2006. The case of the Complainant is that on the date of occurrence the Petitioners allegedly assaulted him and took away paddy crops from the field as also committed theft of his personal belongings. It appears that even though the occurrence is said to have taken place on 9.12.2006, the present Complaint was filed only on 27.12.2006 i.e. 18 days after the same. It also appears that Complaint Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.52518 of 2007 dt.20-08-2013 2 case No.3183 of 2006 has been filed against the Complainant and all his witnesses, it is thereafter that the present Complaint has been filed. Considering the petty nature of the offence and that the occurrence appears to have taken place on account of bonafide assertion of civil rights, the application is allowed and the entire proceeding including the order dated 13.6.2007 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Chapra in Trial No.3557 of 2007 arising out of Complaint case No.3294 of 2006 is hereby quashed.
