IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-26316 of 2011 (O & M) DATE OF DECISION: August 30, 2011 Harbhajan Singh .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab and others ........ RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. PKS Phoolka, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) The petition prays for issuance of directions to respondent no. 3 viz. Senior Superintendent of Police, Muktsar to decide representation dated 03.08.2011 (Annexure P-1) and take appropriate action, as per law. A perusal of Annexure P-1 indicates that an application for registration of case for commission of offence under Section 420 IPC has been made against private respondents. The complaint appears to be in regard to an agreement for sale of land. Be that as it may, the complaint is dated 03.08.2011. Under the provisions of Section 154 (1) Cr.P.C., in an event when cognizable offence is committed, an application is required to be made to Incharge of a police station having jurisdiction over the area. In case the FIR is not lodged, a complaint can be made to SSP of the concerned area. The petitioner has not taken recourse to the procedure provided under Section 154 Cr.P.C. This petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the concerned and relevant authorities. 30.08.2011 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
