Dharam Kaur and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Jasbir Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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) The petitioners seek a mandamus for registration of an FIR against one Parminder Singh who is serving as Deputy Superintendent of Police in Punjab Police and is presently posted at Hoshiarpur. According to the petitioners, the said police officer abused the second petitioner; caused injuries on her person; mis-behaved with her father-in-law and allegedly committed multiple offences under the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that the petitioners have made many complaints like Annexures P- 1, P-3, P-5, P-6, P-7 and P-10 but no action is being taken by the police authorities. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, I am of the considered view that the relief sought in this writ petition can be C.W.P.No .22638 of 2010 2 effectively granted by the Judicial Magistrate/Illaqa Magistrate also under Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of by relegating the petitioners to the afore-stated alternative remedy. Dasti. December 20, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
