CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE
ORAL JUDGMENT
Date : 28-03-2018

Seeking quashing of Complaint Case No.37(C) of

2014, proceedings against applications by the Judicial Magistrate,

1st Class, Masaurhi and the order dated 2.7.2014 taking cognizance

for offences under Sections- 498A and Section 4 of the Dowry

Prohibition Act, this application has been filed under Section 482

of Cr.P.C. That apart, against applicant No.1 Jabir Hussain, Son of
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17893 of 2015 dt.28-03-2018
2/3

Md. Kamal @ Md. Kalam, cognizance has also been taken for the

offence under Section 323 of I.P.C.

Having heard learned counsel for the applicants and

on perusal of the complaint available on record and the statement

of the complainant recorded by the Court on 17.2.2014, it is clear

that she has made specific allegations only with regard to demand

of a Motorcycle, dowry and assaulting her, primarily on applicant

No.1, namely her husband, applicant Nos.2 and 3, namely her

father-in-law and mother-in-law respectively. As far as applicant

Nos.4 to 9, namely, Md. Saddam, Md. Sabir, Shabana Khatoon,

Shayameen Khatoon, Nasarin Khatoon and Rehana Khatoon are

concerned, there is no whisper in the body of the complaint

anywhere nor in the statement recorded on 17.2.2014 with regard

to any act of omission or commission on the part of these 6

appellants, i.e. 4 to 9 which amounts to an offence under Sections

498A or 323 of I.P.C. Except for making vague allegation that all

the family members ill treated her, no specific allegations are made

with regard to applicant Nos.4 to 9.

That being so, keeping in view the law as laid down

by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Ganga Singh v. State

of M.P., (2013) 7 SCC 278, as far as the applicant Nos.4 to 9 are

concerned, there being no specific allegations against them, their
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17893 of 2015 dt.28-03-2018
3/3

applications are liable to be allowed. As far as applicant Nos.1 to 3

are concerned, there being specific allegations against them in the

body of the complaint and in the statement of the complainant

recorded on 17.2.2014, it is not appropriate to interfere into the

matter exercising my inherent extraordinary jurisdiction under

Section 482 of Cr.P.C. Applicant Nos.1 to 3 would have liberty to

raise all objections before the trial court and seek their discharge.

Accordingly, the application is allowed in part. As far

as the prayer made by applicant Nos.4 to 9 is concerned, the same

is allowed. The case instituted against them stands quashed. They

are discharged.

With liberty granted to applicant Nos.1 to 3 to raise

all objections before the trial court and seek their discharge, the

application is disposed of.
