CRM No. 30682-M of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. 30682-M of 2008 Date of decision: 16.01.2009 Jugraj Ram ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present:- Mr. H.S. Batth, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that investigation is not proceeding in right earnest. According to the counsel despite the fact that FIR was registered way back on 6th August, 2007, till now the investigation has hardly made any headway. Neither the accused have been arrested nor interrogated. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that investigation is still in progress in this case and all efforts are being made to take the investigation to its logical end. After hearing the counsel for the parties, this court is of the considered view that this being a case under Sections 302, 148, 149 IPC, requires a serious investigation to be conducted into the same. It appears that the investigation till now has not made much headway. It is thus directed that henceforth the investigation will be conducted strictly CRM No. 30682-M of 2008 2 under the supervision of Senior Superintendent of Police, Muktsar. The said officer shall be at liberty to appoint a senior officer well-versed in investigation procedures for investigation of this case. Disposed of. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE January 16, 2009 'rajpal'
