PARTIES. ----------- 3 27.04.2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although the proceeding under Section 145 Cr.P.C. has been initiated, but the same is still pending. He submits that, in the meanwhile, the crop cultivated by the petitioner on the land is being forcibly harvested by the opposite parties. Therefore, petitioner needs police protection. The same is a distinct relief which cannot be considered in a contempt proceeding. Petitioner is granted liberty to take steps in accordance with law for the purpose. The MJC application is disposed of. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
