IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.35422 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 23, 2011 Daljit Kaur ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Kehar Singh Hissowal, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner has filed this petition seeking direction for grant of protection to her so as to recover the dowry articles, which are lying in her matrimonial home. The direction to recover the dowry articles has been passed by a Court. That Court is well competent to entertain such a prayer. Filing of this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. making a cause where there is none is now a trend. It is invariably noticed that frivolous petitions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. are being filed, this being one of such case. The counsel should desist from such a practice. This court would be compelled to dismiss such petitions with heavy costs. Dismissed. November 23, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
