IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.38016 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: December 15, 2011 Karamjit Kaur & another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Harchand Singh Batth, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. Petitioner No.1 has purchased land measuring 12 Kanals from Kewal Krishan. He has further executed an agreement to sell with Joginder Singh as he required some money for purchasing the land further. The grievance is that said Joginder Singh could not arrange the amount and sale deed was not executed by due date. Joginder Singh has promised the private respondents to get the sale deed executed in their favour from the petitioners. The petitioners do not want to sell this land to the private respondents. As per the petitioners, the private respondents are influential persons and are pressurizing them to get this sale deed executed in their favour. Grievance further is that the private respondents are calling the petitioners and harassing them to register the sale deed in their favour. The claim made in the petition clearly is a civil dispute. No criminality from any of the action that is alleged in the petition is made out. It is routinely seen that the counsel, without any Criminal Misc.-M No.38016 of 2011 (O&M) : 2 : application of mind, are filing such petitions, which are clearly not maintainable. I wonder, how the jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be invoked in such like cases. This petition is totally misconceived and is dismissed. December 15, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
