No. M-3564 of 2011 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION: 03.02.2011 Balkar Singh and others ..........Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ..........Respondents BEFORE:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. B.S. Bajwa, Advocate for the petitioners. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. Crl. Misc. No. 6507 of 2011 Application is allowed as prayed for. Crl. Misc. No. M-3564 of 2011 The present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by petitioners, namely, Balkar Singh, Gurpal Singh and Pashora Singh for issuing directions to respondent No.3-S.S.P., Tarn Taran to register an FIR on the basis of complaint made by them. Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that the SHO concerned has refused to register the FIR and because of that reason, the petitioners have filed complaint to S.S.P., Tarn Taran but learned counsel for the petitioners has not been able to show neither from the record nor otherwise that any such complaint was ever made to SHO concerned. As per provisions of Section 154 (3) Cr.P.C., the petitioners are to approach the SHO concerned for registration of the FIR and an oral Crl. Misc. No. M-3564 of 2011 (O&M) (2) or written request is to be made. Since the petitioners have not availed the remedy by approaching the SHO concerned and straightway has filed the complaint to SSP, Tarn Taran and even that is not confirmed whether complaint (Annexure P-4) was sent to SSP, Tarn Taran or not, there is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed accordingly. However, the petitioners are at liberty to move fresh complaint with the authority concerned.
