Ben, District-Nalanda and a question arose as to whether they are the same two idols which were stolen from the petitioner’s temple, the two police stations are not acting in coordination with each other as a result thereof the identification of the idols of Maa Janki Ji and Shri Laxman Ji which have been recovered by the Nalanda Police has not been established. 4. Learned counsel submits that a forensic examination of the idols would be required and then the same may be handed over to the petitioner’s temple at village Chandaura, P.S.-Kako, District-Jehanabad. 5. According to the petitioner earlier petitioner had submitted an information to the Ben Police Station within whose jurisdiction the idols were found but the Officer-in-Charge of the Ben Police Station did not take any effort in this regard.

The learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad directed the Sub-Inspector of Police to appear physically but then neither the I.O. appeared nor any step was taken and the matter was closed. It is in these circumstances, the petitioner had to move this Court for the reliefs, as prayed for. 6.
