                       IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                               Cr.Misc. No.3151 of 2000
                                RAJENDRA MISHRA & ORS
                                        Versus
                                 STATE OF BIHAR & ORS
                                     -----------

3.   1.7.2010.              Heard.

                              The   prayer           is    for    quashing          the     FIR.

                 Learned       counsel      appearing            for       the    petitioners

                 has    read     out       the       contents         of    the     same    and

besides, there is an allegation of setting fire

to a dwelling house. The law is well settled

that if facts constitute cognizable offence, the

statutory power of the police to investigate

such offences must not be curtailed by exercise

of power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. The

petition, as such, appears of no merit.

However, it was contended that the

parties have compromised long back and the

proceedings is pending since ten years in

expectation that the same may be winded up and

in that light it is directed that the lower

court shall consider the compromise and proceed

to hear the proceedings in that light and

conclude the proceedings as soon as possible.
