Holding
The petition under Section 482 CrPC is disposed of, quashing the order of the Judicial Magistrate.
Summary
The petitioners, members of the Chourasia family, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 07‑10‑2015 of the Judicial Magistrate‑1st Class, Hajipur, which had taken cognizance against them under Sections 417, 448 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code. The State of Bihar and the accused Rajneesh Kumar Chourasia were opposite parties. Both parties appeared before the Patna High Court, with the petitioners represented by Ms. Archana and the State by Advocate‑on‑Record Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Singh. The learned A.P.P. expressed no objection to the petitioners’ request that the case be disposed of. Considering the submissions, the Court disposed of the petition, effectively granting the relief sought. The order reflects the Court’s exercise of its inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC to quash proceedings deemed improper.
