No. M-33151 of 2010 Date of decision :11.11.2010 Surjit Singh and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. R.K. Arya, Advocate for the petitioners. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking a direction to respondents No. 1 to 5 to look into the matter and protect the life, liberty and property of the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that extensive civil and criminal litigation is already pending between the petitioners and respondents No. 6 to 29. He submits that despite pendency of said litigation, respondents No. 6 to 29 are time and again interfering in possession of their property and also subjecting them to harassment. According to him, action needs to be taken in inherent jurisdiction of this court in the facts and circumstances of the case. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. It appears that the petitioners are engaged in dispute regarding property situated at village Hasanpur Kalan Tehsil Batala, District Gurdaspur with respondents No. 6 to 29. Regarding the said property, a civil suit has already been preferred by the petitioners (Annexure P-1) and Criminal Misc. No. M-33151 of 2010 2 certain proceedings are also pending for violation of interim order issued therein. According to learned counsel, some criminal cases have also been instituted by the petitioners. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners and taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, it is not clear as to what kind of direction can be issued in inherent jurisdiction of this court. The prayer made in the petition is totally vague. Under the circumstances, this court is of the opinion that petition is not only frivolous but totally misconceived and the same is hereby dismissed with Rs. 5,000/- as costs to be remitted to State Legal Services Authority, Punjab.
