IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc.19372-M of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 DALJIT KUMAR ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. KS Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, prays for issuance of directions to respondents No.2 and 3 to protect the life and liberty of the petitioner and his family. It has been contended that an incident took place on the intervening night of 31.5.2008/1.6.2008. Numerous injuries were caused on the person of the petitioner, which resulted in fracture of the arm. Even though the Medio-legal report disclosed commission of cognizable offence and the matter was reported well in time, no action has been taken by the police officials under the influence of the private respondents. Notice of motion was issued and SSP, Jalandhar, was directed to file reply. Reply has been filed in court today, which is taken on record. Criminal Misc.19372-M of 2008 2 It has been brought out that FIR No.152 dated 11.9.2008 under Sections 323, 325, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Noormahal, District Jalandhar has been registered against Gurdip Singh alias Deepa son of Joginder Singh, Bhutto son of Joginder Singh, Lubhaya son of Joginder Singh, Peeta son of Gurdip Singh alias Deepa, Punan Singh alias Punnu son of Madan Lal. The main grievance of the petitioner stands satisfied. I, however, have taken note of the fact that for an incident that took place more than 3 months back, the FIR has been lodged at this belated juncture. The investigation would be conducted by the DSP of the area. The investigation would be concluded within 90 days of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of. September 30, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
