This application under Section 482 of the Code of

Criminal Procedure has been filed by the petitioner for quashing the

order dated 14.06.2017 passed by the learned Sub Divisional Judicial

Magistrate, Patna in G.R. Case No.2178 of 2015 arising out of

Kankarbagh P.S. Case No.233 of 2015 by which the learned Sub

Divisional Judicial Magistrate has rejected the petition dated

28.02.2017 filed on behalf of the informant for issuance of warrant

against the accused opposite party no.2

2. The petitioner is the informant in the aforesaid

Kankarbagh P.S. Case No.233 of 2015 registered for the offence

punishable under Sections 498A read with 34 of the Indian Penal

Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

3. In the opinion of this Court, this application is

thoroughly misconceived. The petitioner being informant in a police

case has got no locus to file an application for issuance of warrant of

arrest against an accused, who is named in the FIR.

4. In that view of the matter, the application being

devoid of any merit, is dismissed.
