IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.8272 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 20.12.2010 Bachittar Singh Kahlon ....Petitioner Versus Nazar Singh and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Ranjan Lakhanpal, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 21.10.2010. He has filed a suit for malicious prosecution against the persons arrayed as respondents on the premise that he was falsely implicated and made to undergo rigors of the criminal trial unnecessarily. The prayer made is to implead the State of Punjab as a party respondent. I am afraid the prayer is misplaced. The State of Punjab has nothing to do with the perceived grievance of the petitioner. It is the persons who initiated the wrongful proceedings against the petitioner or the person who carried out tardy prosecution who could at best be arrayed as respondents. The learned trial court has rightly rejected the prayer. Finding no infirmity therein and also not finding any error of C.R.No.8272 of 2010 (O&M) -2- jurisdiction, I am of the opinion that the instant revision is misconceived and is therefore dismissed. 20.12.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
