Crl. Misc. No.M-27723 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-27723 of 2010 Date of Decision: September 20, 2010 Malook Singh …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and others …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.N.L. Sammi, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner seeks a direction to the police authorities to register an FIR against his daughter-in-law Kanwaljit Kaur alleging that she had committed a murder of her minor son aged 31 days on May 18, 2010. A DDR No.19 was recorded, as a secret information had been received by the police that Kanwaljit Kaur had murdered her son. Statement of Kanwaljit Kaur was recorded to the effect that after pregnancy she delivered son on April 17, 2010 which was having a cut on the upper portion of his lips Crl. Misc. No.M-27723 of 2010 [2] which could not be cured and he could not take milk as such she had gone to her father’s house and got the treatment from Dr.Paramjit Singh but the condition of the child did not improve and he died a natural and sudden death. Though post-mortem was conducted and proceedings under Section 174 Cr.P.C. performed, but no action was taken. Counsel for the petitioner claims that the mother of the child has got extra-marital relationship in absence of his son who is posted in army and that she had intentionally killed her child. Taking into consideration the dictum of Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of U.P. and others, 2008 (1) RCR (Crl.) 392, I do not deem it appropriate to issue any direction for registration of the FIR. However, I dispose of this petition with liberty to the petitioner to avail other legal remedies available to him in accordance with law as prima facie, I am not satisfied that a mother could kill her child and that a grand-father would be a better well- wisher than a mother.
