Criminal Misc.No.M-11604 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.M.M-11604 of 2008 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION : 28.7.2011 Ram Narain and another PETITIONERS VERSUS U.T. State and others RESPONDENTS CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Shri Vinod Sharma, Advocate for Shri Ranjan Lakhanpal, Advocate for the petitioners. Shri Pawan Sharma, Advocate for U.T.Chandigarh. MAHESH GROVER, J. This petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed with a prayer that the respondents be restrained from harassing the petitioners and interfering in their possession and also seeking protection to their life and liberty. Learned counsel appearing for U.T.Chandigarh has stated that the petitioners have raised construction on the land in question. He further states that an F.I.R. has been registered. Be that as it may, I am of the considered opinion that the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be used to circumvent the normal set of provisions of law and the remedies which are available to a person. The petitioners whose possession was threatened, ought to have taken recourse to the Criminal Misc.No.M-11604 of 2008 -2- proceedings in the Civil Court and Section 482 Cr.P.C. is certainly not the remedy. Dismissed. (MAHESH GROVER) July 28, 2011 JUDGE GD
