Holding
The High Court declined to quash the lower court’s order and instead disposed of the petition, granting the petitioners liberty to raise their points before the trial court.
Summary
The petitioners, a group of relatives, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 09‑08‑2018 of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate V, Vaishali, which had rejected their discharge petition in Complaint Case No. 3129 of 2008. The High Court examined the petition and noted that the matter was scheduled for argument before the trial court. The petitioners requested liberty to raise all points before the trial court at the appropriate stage, a request to which the State did not object. The Court, after hearing counsel, disposed of the petition, granting the petitioners liberty to present their arguments before the trial court. No substantive interference with the lower court’s order was made.
Issues considered
- What is the scope of the High Court’s power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash an order rejecting a discharge petition?
