summoned the petitioners.

2. Heard Mr. Pramod Kumar, counsel for the petitioners

and Mr. Akshay Lal Pandit, APP for the State.

3. The facts in brief is that the Opposite Party No.2 filed a

complaint case on the file of CJM against the petitioners who are

none-else than his own father-in-law, son-in-laws and relatives of his

father-in-law. It has been alleged that on the date of occurrence, they

came at his residence and enquired as to why he has sent his wife to

Maika. The complainant Opposite Party No.2 refuted and replied that

his wife has gone to her Maika to her own desire. He has further

alleged that on 26.07.2010 at about 4 .00 O’ clock he woke up and

saw all the petitioner running away with his belonging and when he

raised protest, the petitioners assaulted by fist and slaps. On the alarm

of complainant, the local persons assembled and thereafter the

petitioners fled away.

4. It has been submitted that the Opposite Party No.2 has

filed a complaint case with false and frivolous allegation only to

counter the Complaint Case No.1518 of 2008 which has been filed by

the daughter of petitioner no.1. The petitioner nos.1 and 2 being the

father-in-law and brother-in-law of the complainant are witnesses in

the complaint case No.1518 of 2008. Besides that the daughter of

petitioner no.1 has filed a Maintenance Case No.34 of 2010 before the

court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Gaya wherein the learned

Principal Judge has directed the Opposite Party No.2 to pay an

amount of Rs.1600/- per month as interim maintenance. The Opposite

Party No.2 did not comply the said order for which distress warrant

has been issued against the Opposite Party No.2. It has been further

submitted that there are contradictions in the statement of complainant

on solemn affirmation and other witnesses recorded at the time of

enquiry. The learned court below took cognizance without applying

judicial mind and so the impugned order is fit to be quashed.

5. The learned APP opposed the submissions.

6. On perusal of impugned order, complaint petition as well

as document available on record, I find that the wife of these

petitioners had filed a complaint case no.1518 of 2008 on 06.09.2008

against her husband for the offence under Sections 498A, 379, 323

and other Sections of the IPC. The wife of Opposite Party No.2 was

residing at the place of these petitioners. The complainant in the

present case has alleged that on the date of occurrence all the

petitioners along with others came at the house of Opposite Party

No.2 assaulted him and also took away his house hold articles. The

complainant in his solemn affirmation at para-5 to the Court question

has stated that at 4 A.M. he woke up and found the house hold articles

traceless from his house and he had seen the accused (petitioners)

while escaping from his house. The petitioners had slept outside the

house on the date of occurrence. He has further stated that the

petitioners were not at visiting term at the place of complainant

Opposite Party No.2. There are contradictions also in the statement of

witnesses. The present case has been lodged after the complaint case

of his wife out of vengeance as submitted by learned counsel for the

petitioners.

7. In view of the aforesaid facts, the order dated 02.08.2011

passed by Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Nawada in Complaint Case

No.926 of 2010 is not sustainable and is accordingly quashed. This

application is allowed.
