(Oral) In this Civil Writ Petition, the petitioners seek a direction to the Chairman, Punjab State Commission for Women “to take action upon the complaint dated 23.4.2010” said to have been moved by them under the Punjab State Commission for Women Act, 2001. A copy of the afore-stated complaint has been placed on record (Annexure P-1) and a perusal thereof reveals that the petitioners have sought action against five persons “for causing injuries to the complainants and other persons”. It is alleged in the complaint that when the complainants alongwith their family members were sitting in their house, the accused persons armed with Kirpans and Dandas criminally C.W.P.No .11886 of 2010 2 trespassed their house and attacked them with weapons causing various injuries to the persons including Bhinder Singh, Malkiat Singh as well as on both the complainants. Suffice it to observe that the subject complaint contains allegations of alleged commission of offences like under Sections 326, 325, 324, 323 etc. IPC alongwith criminal trespass of the house, investigation of which essentially falls within the domain of the investigating agency prescribed under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. These allegations are totally alien to the object of 2001 Act, which has been enacted “with a view to improve the status of women in the State of Punjab and to enquire into unfair practices affecting women and for the matters connected therewith or incidental thereto”. The writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to approach the appropriate forum. Dasti. July 08, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
