Holding
The Court disposed of the criminal miscellaneous application, granting the petitioner liberty to raise all points before the trial court.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Faruque, filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 01.05.2015 passed by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, which had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 406 and 420 of the IPC and Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The petitioner argued that the order should be set aside and that he should be allowed to raise all points raised in his petition before the trial court at the appropriate stage. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioner's prayer. The High Court, after hearing counsel for both sides, disposed of the application, granting the petitioner liberty to present his arguments before the trial court. Consequently, the application was not dismissed but allowed to proceed with the liberty sought by the petitioner.

- Whether the order of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate can be quashed under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
