ORAL JUDGMENT
Date: 01-11-2017
Counsel for the petitioners as well as counsel for the
opposite party no.2 are present.
Husband and in-laws are the petitioners in the instant case
filed for quashing the order dated 3.8.2013, whereby and
whereunder cognizance of the offence has been taken under sections
498A, 494/34 IPC by the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Saharsa.
Today, submission has been made on behalf of opposite
party no.2 that the husband of opposite party no.2 is not even paying
the maintenance amount fixed by the court below.
Be that as it may, it appears that the Complaint case
no.870(C) of 2013 was filed on 21.2.2013, thereafter under orders of
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36963 of 2014 dt.01-11-2017
2/2
the court the matter was registered as Mahila Police Station Case
No. 21 of 2013 dated 15.3.2013. Police conducted investigation and
submitted charge sheet against five (petitioners) out of eleven
accused persons and considering the charge sheet the Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Saharsa took cognizance of the offence under sections
498A/494/34 IPC against them on 3.8.2013. Further, on going
through the allegations levelled against the petitioners, I find that
there is sufficient material for arriving at prima facie opinion for
taking cognizance. There appears to be no infirmity in the order
taking cognizance dated 3.8.2017.
In the result, the quashing application stands dismissed.
