Holding
The court disposed of the petition under Section 482 CrPC, thereby granting the relief sought to quash the lower court's order.
Summary
The petitioners Md. Islam Alam, Zaibun Nisha and Md. Sarfaraj Alam filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 19-02-2018 passed by the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur, which had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 498A and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The State of Bihar, as the opposite party, was represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor who raised no objection to the petition. Both parties’ counsel appeared before the Hon’ble Justice Sunil Dutta Mishra. After hearing the submissions, the court found no impediment to disposing of the petition. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition, effectively granting the relief sought. No detailed reasoning on the merits of the quash petition was recorded in the order.
Issues considered
- Whether the order of the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate taking cognizance under IPC Sections 498A/34 and D.P. Act Section 3 can be quashed under Section 482 CrPC?
