Crl. Misc. No.M-30442 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-30442 of 2010 Date of Decision: October 13, 2010 Asha …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and others …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Ashu Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioner, through instant petition, seeks a direction to the respondents to arrest Rupa who happens to be the sister of the husband of the petitioner. Earlier the FIR was not being registered but on the intervention of Human Rights Commission, the FIR was registered. As per the allegations in the FIR when the petitioner alongwith her husband on November 25, 2009 had gone to her in-laws house for domestic work, the locks were found broken on her return on November 26, 2009. She found Crl. Misc. No.M-30442 of 2010 [2] gold ornaments missing from her Godrej Almirah. The petitioner had specifically mentioned in the FIR that some unidentified persons had stolen articles. Though the name of Rupa is not mentioned in the FIR but counsel for the petitioner submits that the name of Rupa was specifically told to the police. I do not believe the story of the petitioner. It appears that on the basis of misguided suspicion, the petitioner is levelling allegations against her sister-in-law. In the exercise of inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioner cannot be permitted to settle scores with her natural rival, her sister-in-law. Dismissed. However, in case following the guidelines in Joginder Kumar v. State of U.P., AIR 1994 SC 1349, if any evidence is received against Rupa, it will be open to the police to take necessary steps in accordance with law. October 13, 2010 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
