In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh ...... Criminal Misc. No.M-10091 of 2010 ..... Date of decision:6.4.2010 Manish Malik .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana and others .....Respondents .... Present: Mr. Navneet Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... S.S. Saron, J. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite registration of FIR on 10.1.2010 for the offences under Sections 498-A, 304-B and 34 Indian Penal Code proper and effective investigation in the case is not being carried. In Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. and others, 2008 (1) RCR (Cr.) 392 (SC) it was observed by the Supreme Court that a Magistrate in terms of Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. can also direct proper investigation to be made in a case where, according to the aggrieved person, no proper investigation has been made. In the circumstances, the petitioner if so advised, in the first instance may pursue his remedy before the learned area Magistrate. In case an application is filed by the petitioner for carrying out any effective investigation in the matter it is needless to mention that the learned area Magistrate will consider and decide the same in accordance with law. Accordingly, the criminal miscellaneous petition is dismissed at this stage so as to enable the petitioner to pursue his remedy before the Cr. Misc. No.M-10091 of 2010 [2] learned area Magistrate in the first instance. April 6, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
