Criminal Misc. No.M-29275 of 2009 ..... Gurpreet Singh v. State of Punjab .... Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. V.P.S. Sidhu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab for the respondent-State. ...... The case was called in the pre-lunch session and is now again called for the second time. However, nobody has put in appearance for the petitioner. On 30.10.2009, it was stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the occurrence is of 6.4.2009 and before filing the present petition an application was submitted to SSP, Ludhiana alleging that the Police officials have threatened him and not paid the fare while travelling in the bus. The State counsel was to verify the position. The case set-up by the petitioner is that he was working as a Conductor in the Jhujar Bus Service. A dispute had occurred with the Police officials who wanted to travel in the bus free of cost by not paying for the bus ticket cost. Due to this reason, he has been falsely implicated. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that the Deputy Superintendent of Police Samrala conducted an inquiry in this regard and in terms of his report dated 2.11.2009, it has been found that the petitioner is not working as Conductor in the Jhujar Bus Service. A statement of the Manager of the said bus service has also been recorded in this regard. Therefore, it is submitted that a false allegation has been made. Since no one is present on behalf of the petitioner, the present petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. January 12, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
