further alleged that informant of said case namely Babita Devi
Patna High Court CR. WJC No.56 of 2025(3) dt.17-03-2026
2/5
had lodged Marhowrah P.S. Case No. 53 of 2024 against the
FIR named accused Vivek Kumar Singh, Kameshwar Singh and
Sharwan Kumar for assaulting her and causing injury to her. It is
further alleged that during course of investigation and progress
of said case, it is found that informant has made a concocted
story with the help of her companion, doctors and staff of
Referral Hospital, Marhowrah and created a forged injury
report to implicate and drag the accused persons of the said
case. It is further alleged that this fact reveals from letter no. 400
dated 09.03.2024 issued by the Superintendent, Sadar Hospital,
Chapra based on the report of Three Man Committee and letter
no. 516 dated 13.06.2024 issued by the Additional Collector,
Saran at Chapra, the injury report issued by the Referral
Hospital, Marhowrah was found false and the enquiry team
found involvement of Dr. Rajeev Ranjan, Dr. R.N. Tiwary
(petitioner), Clerk-Ranjit Kumar Singh, Clerk-Manzoor Alam,
BHM-Vishwajeet Kumar and routine act of Dr. Krishna Chandra
was found suspicion. The CCTV footage of nearby house of the
informant was also taken and after investigation and direction of
senior police officials the case was found untrue and on the
basis of Memo no. 2084 dated 21.08.2024 issued by the office
of Sub Divisional Police Officer, Marhowrah direction was
Patna High Court CR. WJC No.56 of 2025(3) dt.17-03-2026
3/5
given to lodge the case against the informant and others who
helped the informant in lodging the false case. Hence, the
present FIR.
4. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of
respondent no. 2. It has been submitted through counter affidavit
that during course of investigation and supervision, the case was
found to be true under Sections 419, 420, 465, 467, 466, 468,
471, 120(B) of the IPC against the petitioner and others.
5. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that
from perusal of the contents of the FIR, it is clear that prima
facie case is made out against the petitioner and others and after
investigation, the case was also found true under Sections 419,
420, 465, 467, 466, 468, 471, 120(B) of the IPC and there is no
reason to quash the present FIR as it is a very serious case in
which petitioner and others are involved in preparing false
injury report and creating a false case. In this way, lodging of
the FIR is justified and legal and no interference is needed.
6. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner
seeks some time to argue this case as arguing counsel is not
present.
7. Arguing counsel appeared at 1:00 PM. He has
specifically drawn the attention of the court on report of Three
Patna High Court CR. WJC No.56 of 2025(3) dt.17-03-2026
4/5
Man Committee in which at para-4 it has been specifically
mentioned that the date on which the injury report was sent in
the name of petitioner/Dr. R.N. Tiwary, he was not posted in the
hospital and he was transferred to Sadar Hospital, Chapra on
21.01.2024 and on 22.01.2024 being relieved he had joined
Sadar Hospital, Chapra on the same date.
8. The very report of the Three Man Committee was
not taken into consideration by the respondent no. 2/ the
Superintendent of Police, Saran at Chapra while filing counter
affidavit. Then what prompts Superintendent of Police, Saran at
Chapra to implicate the petitioner when at the relevant time
petitioner was not present at Referral Hospital, Marhowrah and
how the case was found to be true under Sections 419, 420, 465,
467, 466, 468, 471, 120(B) of the IPC against the petitioner.
9. In the aforesaid circumstance, the Superintendent
of Police, Saran at Chapra is directed to explain under what
circumstances the aforesaid report of the Three Man Committee
has been negated. If petitioner was not present at the relevant
time at Referral Hospital, Marhowrah, what materials have been
taken into account to implicate the petitioner in the said case.
10. Put up this matter on 31.03.2026.
11. It is made clear that if proper explanation is not
Patna High Court CR. WJC No.56 of 2025(3) dt.17-03-2026
5/5
given by the Superintendent of Police, Saran at Chapra on the
next date, he will be required to appear in person and explain
the circumstances.
