In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh ...... Criminal Misc. No.M-12305 of 2009 ..... Date of decision:5.5.2009 Mithu Khan and others .....Petitioners v. State of Punjab .....Respondents .... Present: Mr. N.S. Sodhi, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... S.S. Saron, J. This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (`Cr.P.C.' - for short) seeking quashing of FIR dated 2.4.2009 (Annexure-P.1) registered against the petitioners for the offence under Section 306 Indian Penal Code on the statement of Lal Deen-father of the deceased (Bashira). It is alleged by the complainant-Lal Deen that his daughter Bashira was married with Majeed Khan about 15 years back. Majeed Khan were three brothers and all were married. Neeram Bibi alias Ghono is wife of one of the brothers of Majeed Khan, namely, Chhinda Khan. She has illicit relations with Majeed Khan. About this relationship, Boob Khan (petitioner No.3) son of Mithu Khan (petitioner No.1) and Nolo Khan son of Salamat Bibi (petitioner No.2) wife of Mithu Khan (petitioner No.1) were also aware. Bashira-daughter of the complainant Lal Deen used to restrain her husband Majeed Khan not to carry on illicit relations with Neeram Bibi. Bashira also complained to Mithu Khan (petitioner No.1) and Salamat Bibi Cr. Misc. No.M-12305/2009 [2] (petitioner No.2) about this. On this account, the husband of Bashira used to harass her. Besides, the others also did not pay any heed to Bashira. On account of the illicit relations, it is alleged that Bashira had committed suicide. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that, in fact, Bashira had committed suicide on her own which is evident from the report dated 14.2.2009 (Annexure-P.2) recorded under Section 174 Cr.P.C. as also the statement of Iqbal Deen as recorded in the Report Roznamcha No.19 (Annexure-P.3) on 14.2.2009. Besides, Iqbal Deen in his statement (Annexure-P.4), that was recorded on 14.2.2009, has stated that his younger sister Bashira was mentally upset due to which she committed suicide. A reference is also made to the compromise recorded on 14.2.2009 (Annexure-P.5) as also the Panchayat Nama (Annexure-P.6) which was recorded on 14.2.2009. On the basis of the documents (Annexures-P.2 to P.6) it is submitted that it is a clear case of suicide, however, the father of the deceased, namely, Lal Deen has now on 2.4.2009 lodged the impugned FIR (Annexure-P.1). After giving my thoughtful consideration to the contentions of the learned counsel for the petitioners, it may be noticed that the Police is still investigating the case and the veracity of the documents (Annexures- P.2 to P.6) is to be considered and gone into by the Police authorities. This Court in exercise of its inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is normally not to interfere in the process of investigation insofar as it is carried on in accordance with law. Nothing has been shown that there has been any infraction of the rule of procedure in the conduct of investigation. Cr. Misc. No.M-12305/2009 [3] The petitioners may make their representation to the investigating authorities on the strength of the documents (Annexures-P.2 to P.6). However, at this stage when investigation is inconclusive, it would be improper to interfere in the case. Accordingly, the criminal miscellaneous petition is premature and is accordingly dismissed.
