IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-18566 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: July 02, 2010 Ujaggar Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.A.P. Singh, Advocate for the petitioner .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking a direction to respondent No.2 to take legal action against respondents No.3 to 5 for demolishing certain demarcation marks fixed by the local Tehsildar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that demarcation of the land was conducted on 18.12.2009 and certain marks were affixed in order to highlight the partition of land. According to learned counsel, marks were illegally removed by respondents No.3 to 5. According to him, legal action is required to be taken against the said respondents. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. It is inexplicable as to how the present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking direction to respondent Crl.Misc.No.M-18566 of 2010 - 2 - No.2 to take legal action against private respondents for alleged removal of demarcation marks, is maintainable. In case of removal of any marks/signs showing demarcation of partition of land, petitioner was entitled to bring it to the notice of the concerned authority or to take action in accordance with law. For registration of a criminal case, effective remedy is available to the petitioner under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. as laid down by the apex court in case reported as Sakiri Vasu vs. State of U.P. and others, 2008(1) R.C.R. (Crl.) 392. No case for interference under the inherent jurisdiction of this court is made out. The petition appears to be totally frivolous. The same is, therefore, dismissed with Rs.2,000/- as costs, to be remitted to the State Legal Services Authority, Punjab. July 02, 2010 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE
