JUDGEMENT 1. This writ application is by a practicing Advocate of this Court for a direction to quash the FIR instituted as against him at the behest of the traffic police and for a direction to the respondents to initiate proceeding against the traffic police/official. The whole episode started on a minor issue of petitioner having been caught driving motor vehicle without helmet. Both sides i.e. the petitioner being a practicing Advocate of this Court and the respondents having made it a question of ego, resulted in such acrimonious allegation and counter allegation. Even the Registry of this Court was sought to be drived in. 2. A counter affidavit has been filed in which it has been stated that consequent to investigation, charge-sheet was submitted upon which C.J.M., Patna has already taken cognizance of offence as charged against the petitioner. 3. Taking an overall due consideration to the matter it would only be appropriate for the State to consider withdrawing the prosecution for such a trifle matter which has been obviously blown out of proportion. State would realize that it should not waste its precious time and money on such a trifle matter and the same can be utilized in more deserving cases. 4. With these observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. 5. Learned counsel for the State may apprise the spirit of the, order of this Court, as above, and learned counsel for the petitioner may also approach the appropriate authority.
