C.W.P NO. 6024 OF 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 6024 OF 2009 DECIDED ON : 22.04.2009 Ch. Prahlad Kumar and anr. ...Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) Notice of motion to respondents No.1 to 4 only, at this stage. Mr. G. S. Attariwala, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice. In view of nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek any counter-affidavit from the official respondents and/or to issue notice to rest of the respondents. The petitioners who are old husband and wife, seek protection of their life and liberty which is alleged to have been threatened by their own sons. The allegations in the writ petition indicate an unfortunate property dispute which has led to the accusations by the petitioners of their own sons and a brother of petitioner No.1. C.W.P NO. 6024 OF 2009 -2- Be that as it may, having regard to the nature of relief sought by the petitioners, however, without expressing any views on merits thereof, more so, when the private respondents have not been heard and no order adverse to their interest can be passed behind their back, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Muktsar to whom a complaint (Annexure P-7) has already been made, to look into the said complaint and take appropriate action in accordance with law, if so required. The needful shall be done within one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Let a copy of this order be given dasti on payment of usual charges.
