CRIMINAL MISC.-M NO.35420 OF 2011 (O&M) :{ 1 }: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH DATE OF DECISION: NOVEMBER 23, 2011 Bibi Beant Kaur .....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: Mr. M. S. Joshi, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. This petition is filed by the petitioner for directing the official respondents to provide adequate security to her. The petitioner apprehends that private respondents 4 to 12 wish to eliminate her to grab the property of Gurudwara Shaheed Baba Surtia Ji. As per the averments in the petition, Baba Budh Singh Ji had constructed a Diwan Hall and a Darbar Sahib with the help of Sangat, which is now a Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Surtia Ji. This CRIMINAL MISC.-M NO.35420 OF 2011 (O&M) :{ 2 }: Gurdwara was earlier being managed by Baba Bishan Dass Ji, who gave Gaddi to Baba Baljit Ji. Baba Baljit Singh entrusted the management of the Dera to Sant Baba Buda Singh Ji, husband of the petitioner. The present building of the Gurdwara was constructed by Baba Budh Singh Ji. Baba Budh Singh Ji died on 8.4.2010 and the Sangat had then given the Gaddi to the petitioner and she was appointed as Head Sevadar of the Institution. The petitioner claims to have further developed the building with the help of Sangat. On 3.11.2011, the private respondents had called a Panchayat and a compromise was reached, permitting the petitioner as Incharge of the Gurdwara. The petitioner nominated the Committee on 4.11.2011. The private respondents, however, then started threatening the petitioner, for which she submitted a complaint to SSP, Jagraon. It is accordingly alleged that despite compromise, the respondents are creating mischief for the petitioner. Allegation of stealing quilts and ration etc. is also made against them. It is alleged that they have got published a duplicate receipt book and are collecting offerings, which they are allegedly misappropriating. The petitioner has accordingly filed the present petition seeking direction for the official respondents to take action and to make adequate arrangements for her security. There is hardly any threat or apprehension expressed by the petitioner in the complaint, which would indicate that the respondents have done anything to call for action against them. The counsel for the petitioner was asked to disclose the offence if any made out against the respondents, for which the action is called for but he could not disclose anything whatsoever. Allegation of stealing CRIMINAL MISC.-M NO.35420 OF 2011 (O&M) :{ 3 }: of bister or quilts appears to have just been made without much basis. Obviously, this is a case of a dispute between two factions to get control of this Gurdwara somehow or the other and the present petition is filed with that aim only. To me, this petition appears to be totally misconceived and misplaced. There is no instance mentioned revealing allegations against the private respondents. No instance is mentioned which would indicate that there is any threat to the life of the petitioner. It has become an habit on the part of the citizens to unnecessarily approach the Court without any basis and the present petition is one such instance. Forum of this Court is being used to fight private dispute over property. There is no case made out calling for any interference in this case. The petition is, therefore, dismissed, it being without any basis. November 23, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) khurmi JUDGE
