CRM No. M-21316 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-21316 of 2009 Date of decision: 13.10.2009 Paramjeet Kaur ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. N.L. Sammi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). This is a petition wherein a prayer has been made for a direction to respondents No.1 to 3 to take appropriate steps for arresting respondents No.4 to 7 as also to hand over the investigation of the case to some independent agency. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the FIR was registered on 23rd June, 2009 and investigation has not made any headway thereafter. Even the accused have not been arrested despite the offence under Section 326 IPC being cognizable and non-bailable. Learned counsel for the State submits that investigation has been conducted in a fair and thorough manner. According to him, a board of three doctors was constituted which opined that the possibility of injuries being self-suffered or sustained by a friendly hand, could not be ruled out. He has referred to reply by way of affidavit of Narinder CRM No. M-21316 of 2009 2 Pal Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Raikot, District Ludhiana (Rural), filed in court in this regard. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. I am of the considered view that prayer for direction to arrest respondents No.4 to 7 is misconceived in view of the law laid down by the apex court in M.C. Abraham and another vs. State of Maharashtra and others, (2003) 2 Supreme Court Cases 649. There is nothing on record to show that the investigation being conducted in the case is not fair or impartial. Thus, prayer for handing over the investigation of the case to some independent agency is also untenable. The petition appears to be totally frivolous. The same is hereby dismissed.
