Lala, Advocate For the State : APP ---- 04/22.11.2017: It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that earlier the daughter of the petitioner No.1 had instituted Ranchi Sadar P.S. Case No.224 of 2014 for the offence under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the D.P. Act against the Opp. Party No.2. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that as a retaliation to the said case, instant complaint case was instituted and the perusal of the complaint reveals a false story that when the complainant had gone out from the house, the accused persons had broken the almirah and taken Rs.30000/- and subsequently, with a malicious intention, complaint case was instituted against the petitioner.

2. Parbin Begum. ….Opposite Parties ----- Coram: HON’BLE MR JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY ----- For the Petitioners : Mr. Anuradha Sahay, Advocate For the State : APP ---- 04/22.11.2017: Heard the parties. The petitioners, in this application, have prayed for quashing of the entire criminal proceeding in connection with Mango P.S. Case No.311 of 2015 (G.R. No.2311 of 2015 instituted under Sections 341, 307, 387, 354, 506, 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioners that earlier niece of the petitioners has filed first information report under Section 498A and 323 of the Indian Penal Code and as a retaliation to the same, the subsequent criminal case has been instituted. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that even otherwise there are no allegation against the petitioners, which will justify their prosecution under Sections 341, 307, 387, 354, 506, 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioners. It appears that the investigation is at a nascent stage and nothing has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners as to whether charge sheet has been submitted or not. Prima facie, there appears to be allegation of assault committed by the petitioners, which led to institution of the case under Sections 341, 307, 387, 354, 506, 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code. So far as contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners with respect to subsequent first information report being retaliation to the earlier case instituted by the niece of the petitioners is concerned, the same is by way of defence and it cannot be decided at this stage as with respect to intention of assault on the part of the petitioners, the same is existing in the first information report. Thus, there being no reason to entertain this application, the same is hereby, disposed of with a liberty to the petitioners to raise all the points at an appropriate stage, if so advised.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since Olidih P.S. did not have the jurisdiction to enquire into the allegation made, it was requested to transfer the case to Adityapur Police Stattion. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that however, with respect to the same and similar allegation, another complaint was instituted being C/1 Case No.307 of 2014, which was sent under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. to the Officer-in-Charge, Mango (Olidih) Police Station, leading to institution of the Mango (Olidih) P.S. Case No.96 of 2014.

Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that after coming out from jail, he had instituted a complaint case, which is by way of retaliation, in which allegation has been levelled that the petitioner no.2 has solemnized marriage with the petitioner No.1 whereas the petitioner no.1 in fact had given shelter to the petitioner No.2 when she had gone to visit Ayodhya. So far as rest of the petitioners are concerned, they are the witness to the earlier case lodged by the petitioner No.2 against the Opp. Party No.2, which itself goes to show vindictive nature of the opp. Party in making false allegation against the petitioners. Issue notice to the Opp. Party No. 2 to why this application be not admitted and/or disposed of at the stage of admission itself, for which requisites etc. under registered cover with A/D as well as under ordinary process must be filed by 30th November, 2017.

No.950 of 2017 Sanjay Kumar Tiwary …..Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. ….Opposite Party ----- Coram: HON’BLE MR JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY ----- For the Petitioner : M/s Nagmani Tiwari & Ajit Dubey, Advocates For the State : APP ---- 03/22.11.2017: Heard the parties. The petitioner, in this application, has prayed for quashing of the entire criminal proceeding in connection with T. Tangar P.S. Case No.15 of 2016 (G.R. No.189 of 2016) including order dated 22.07.2017 whereby and whereunder cognizance has been taken against the petitioner for the offences under Sections 409, 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Simdega. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegation made in the first information report is two folds:- First is with respect to non-execution of the work in terms of the agreement; and the second is non renewal of the bank guarantee. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner had deposited fixed deposit of Rs.8,60,000/- in place of bank guarantee and, therefore, it cannot be said that the petitioner, by non renewing the bank guarantee, has misappropriated government money. However, with respect to non execution of the work is concerned, nothing has been stated by the petitioner in his defence. In such situation, therefore, so far as non execution of the work is concerned, there appears to be a prima facie allegation of misappropriation of government money against the petitioner, which cannot be decided by this Court in its inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Accordingly, I do not find any illegality in the order dated 22.07.2017 and having found no merit in this application, the same is hereby disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise all the points at an appropriate stage.

No.964 of 2017 Nagendra Kumar Sharma @ Nagendra Kr. @ Banti Sharma …..Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. ….Opposite Party ----- Coram: HON’BLE MR JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. H.K. Shikarwar, Advocate For the State : Mr. V.K. Roy, APP ---- 03/22.11.2017: Heard the parties. The petitioner, in this application, has prayed for quashing of the entire criminal proceeding in connection with Govindpur P.S. Case No.57 of 2017 (G.R. No.963 of 2017) instituted under Sections 414, 120B, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 30(ii) of the Coal Mines Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the first information report was instituted after delay of 10 days and in the meantime, the petitioner has produced documents with respect to the coal in question but the same was never considered by the I.O. The valid challan was with respect to purchase of the coal from government department and selling of the same to M/s Afruddin Sheikh of Filwariya Rajmahal, Sahebganj. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that while the coal in question was to be transported through vehicle, which was purchased from the factory premises of the petitioner, the police raided the vehicle and thereafter, on the complaint that the documents with respect to the coal was not produced by the driver and khalasi of the vehicle in question, the same was seized and the first information report was instituted after almost 10 days. The petitioner is a genuine owner of the coal in question and as such, he could not been proceeded against in a criminal case. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner. The documents, which have been referred to by the petitioner, cannot be considered at this stage, when the investigation itself is pending against the petitioner. The petitioner happens to the owner M/s Bhawiya Coal Traders, who has taken a plea of purchasing the coal in question from the government department and selling it to M/s Afruddin Sheikh of Filwariya Rajmahal, Sahebganj. This Court in a proceeding under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is not to embark on a meticulous examination of the documents produced by the petitioner, which can best be considered during the trial. In such view of the matter, there appears to be a prima facie allegation against the petitioner to be prosecuted in the criminal case and accordingly, having found no merit in this application, the same is hereby disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise all the points at an appropriate stage.
