            MUZAFFARPUR                                       .... PETITIONERS
                                              Versus
                                    THE STATE OF BIHAR
                                            -----------

2. 28.1.2011 Supplementary affidavit filed today on behalf

of the petitioners be kept on the record.

The petitioners seek quashing of the order

dated 29.11.2010 passed by the 1st Additional Sessions

Judge, Muzaffarpur in Sessions Trial No.886 of 2008, by

which the trial court has rejected an application u/s.228

Cr.P.C.

The Counsel for the petitioners submits that

initially the case was instituted u/s.302/34 I.P.C., but

subsequently there were materials during investigation

which warranted submission of charge sheet u/s.306 I.P.C.

but the same was not done nor has charge been framed in

the said section alternatively.

Since it is the demand of the petitioner to

frame an alternative charge u/s.306 I.P.C., I would direct

the trial court to consider framing of charge alternatively

also u/s.306 I.P.C. to meet the ends of justice.

With these observations, the application is

allowed.
