IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Criminal Misc. No.2536-M of 2008 Date of Decision:31.01.2008 Joginder Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Mandeep Sachdev, Advocate for the petitioner. **** RAJESH BINDAL, J. The prayer in the present petition is for a direction to respondent No.3 to register an FIR against respondents No.4 to 11 for the offences committed by them under Section 452/440/504/506 IPC. A DDR to that effect was recorded in which it was mentioned that the civil litigation between the parties was already pending. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in fact the appeal filed by the petitioner had already been accepted by the learned District Judge on 2.11.2006 and no further proceeding is pending. However, keeping in view the law laid down by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of UP and others, 2008(1) RCR (Criminal) 392, such a petition for direction to the police for registration of FIR could not be entertained as the petitioner has his remedy for filing a complaint under Section 156 Cr.P.C before the Magistrate. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed with the liberty to the petitioner to approach the Magistrate for necessary relief. January 31, 2008 ( RAJESH BINDAL ) renu JUDGE
