Holding
The High Court disposed of the petition, granting the petitioners liberty to approach the trial court with their points, effectively quashing the order rejecting the discharge petition.
Summary
The petitioners Shamsher Alam, Jamila Khatoon and Hajra Khatoon filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 12 June 2018 passed by the Additional District Judge‑II, Gaya, which had rejected their discharge petition filed under Section 227 CrPC in Rampur Police Station Case No. 163 of 2013. The petition argued that the rejection should be set aside and the matter should be allowed to be raised before the trial court. The State of Bihar raised no objection to the relief sought. The Patna High Court, after hearing counsel, disposed of the petition by granting the petitioners liberty to present all points raised in their petition before the trial court at the appropriate stage. No substantive merits of the discharge petition were decided; the order was simply set aside pending further proceedings before the trial court.
Issues considered
- Whether the order of the Additional District Judge rejecting the discharge petition under Section 227 CrPC can be quashed under Section 482 CrPC.
