C.W.P NO. 6058 OF 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 6058 OF 2009 DECIDED ON : 22.04.2009 Lt. Col. Sarup Singh Sidhu ...Petitioner versus The Director and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Kanwaljit Singh, Senior Advocate with Mr. Harmanjit Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner, who is serving as a Senior Army Officer, seeks a direction to the Central Bureau of Investigation to consider and dispose of his representation including dated 04.05.2006 (Annexure P-9), made pursuant to the order dated April 21, 2006 passed by a Division Bench of this Court in CWP No.6092 of 2006 and not to cause unnecessary harassment to him in relation to case FIR No. 55 dated 07.06.204 under Sections 364/148/149 of the Indian Penal Code registered at Police Station, Ferozpur Cantt. Shorn of the details, suffice it to notice that the afore- mentioned FIR pertains to the disappearance of one Darshan Lal, who was a vegetable and meat contractor with the Army. The petitioner's precise claim is that though he had no concern, what C.W.P NO. 6058 OF 2009 -2- so ever, with the disappearance of Darshan Lal, the second respondent is subjecting him to unabated harassment by repeatedly asking him to join the investigation since the year 2005. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court by way of CWP No. 6092 of 2006 which was disposed of with liberty to him to approach the senior officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation for the necessary relief. Pursuant thereto, the petitioner is stated to have represented to the CBI authorities through proper channel, namely, the D & V Directorate of the Army Head Quarters vide representation dated 04.05.2006 (Annexure P-9) but no tangible step is alleged to have taken pursuant thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits thereof, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to take cognizance of the petitioner's representation dated 04.05.2006 and entrust the same for consideration and appropriate action to an officer, who shall then dispose of the same in accordance with law. The needful shall be done as early as possible and preferably within a period of three months. Disposed of. C.W.P NO. 6058 OF 2009 -3- Let a copy of this order be given dasti on payment of usual charges. APRIL 22, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
