Ranjit Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Onkar Singh, Advocate,for the petitioner. Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, DAG, Punjab, for respondent Nos.1 to 3. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion to respondent Nos.1 to 3 only at this stage. Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on their behalf. Let three copies of the writ petition be handed over to the learned State Counsel during the course of day. Since this order is not likely to cause any prejudice to respondent Nos.4 & 5, no notice is required to be issued to them, nor, in view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is any need to seek counter-reply from respondent Nos.1 to 3 at this stage. C.W.P.No .3538 of 2011 2 The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondent- Police authorities to complete the investigation in case FIR No.86 dated 13.12.2010, registered at Police Station Dera Baba Nanak, Police District Batala under Sections 302/34 IPC. The above stated FIR has been registered on a complaint made by the petitioner, inter-alia, alleging that his father was murdered allegedly by respondent Nos.4 & 5 and the occurrence was witnessed not only by the petitioner but by his Taya and Chacha, namely, Gurnam Singh and Jaswinder Singh also. The petitioner has relied upon the Post Mortem report of the deceased to substantiate the allegations contained in the FIR that the injury has been caused on the forehead of the deceased by a sharp edged weapon, Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the allegations made by the petitioner against respondent No.4 & 5 who have not been heard at this stage, I am of the considered view that if the death of the father of the petitioner is homicidal as it appears from the Post Mortem report, it is imperative upon the police authorities to complete the investigation impartially and in a fair manner and take it to a logical conclusion. The writ petition is accordingly, disposed of with a direction to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur to personally look into the matter and ensure that the investigation of the aforesaid FIR is concluded in a time bound manner within two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. C.W.P.No .3538 of 2011 3 Let a copy of this order be handed-over to Ms.Monica Chhibbar Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for information and necessary compliance. Dasti.
