Prem Lal and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Akshay Bhan, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners claim themselves to be owners in possession of the land briefly descripted in para No.2 of the writ petition. It is alleged that they have been cultivating the said land from the last 35-40 years. It is alleged that the 7th respondent, who is a Deputy Superintendent of Police in Punjab Police is having evil eyes on the said land and is threatening the petitioners to vacate the possession of the land in question prompting them to approach this Court to direct the Police Authorities to protect their lives and liberty. It is also stated that the Civil Court has granted ad-interim injunction in favour of the petitioners but that is also being violated by respondent No.7 and his associates. C.W.P.No .22762 of 2010 2 Reliance is also placed upon an enquiry report dated 13.11.2010 (Annexure P-9) submitted by the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Malerkotla to whom the enquiry was marked by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Sangrur. It is further alleged that no action pursuant to the said enquiry report has been taken so far against the 7th respondent. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the allegations, especially when the private respondents have not been heard at this stage, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Sangrur, to verify the petitioners' allegations personally and take an appropriate decision as may be required in law, on the basis of the enquiry report dated 13.11.2010, a copy of which has been placed on record as Annexure P-9. The petitioners shall hand-over a copy of this writ petition alongwith the certified copy of this order to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Sangrur, who is directed to do the needful within a period of one month from the date of receiving a copy of the writ petition alongwith certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. December 21, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
