Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. S. R. Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Kirti Singh, DAG., Haryana for the respondents. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ?No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest?No K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The writ petition is for compensation for death in custody. The State has filed a counter and has also pointed out to the fact that the enquiry constituted revealed that the petitioner had committed suicide. It was a case where he was arrested following a complaint by the father of a girl with whom he was in love. It appears that the girl also died,having committed suicide on the day subsequent to the death of the person in custody. There does not appear to be anything material for this Court to invoke the jurisdiction of a public law remedy for the petitioner. The petitioner is at liberty to approach a Civil Court for establishing any negligence on the part of the State that could have caused death, if the petitioner is so advised. 2. The writ petition is disposed of with liberty as aforesaid. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE November 17 , 2011 archana
