IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.33226 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 03, 2011 Rajinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr.Navjeet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for direction to respondent Nos.1 to 5 to protect the life and liberty of the petitioner and his family members from respondent Nos.6 to 9, who want to forcibly take illegal possession of the plot of the petitioner. How the life and liberty of the petitioner is being prejudiced in case there is some civil dispute between the parties in regard to possession of a plot. Apparently, the parties have already approached the civil court. FIR has been registered against the petitioner. The petition is to seek protection of life and liberty on the ground that FIR is without any basis. This can not be a ground to grant protection to the petitioner, who is accused of committing offence. He may have right to seek stay of his arrest etc. by filing bail application. The approach to seek protection of life and liberty by invoking Section 482 Cr.P.C. seems misconceived. Counsel can be expected to apply mind and make an approach where there is some cause to do so. Dismissed. November 03, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
