IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc.9370-M of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : DECEMBER 3, 2008 VARINDER SINGH ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. KS Hissowal, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, prays for directions to the police not to unnecessarily harass the petitioner and his family members at the instance of private respondents, who have been making false complaints against the petitioner and his family members. It seems that there are matrimonial differences between the petitioner and Narinderpal Kaur (respondent No.4). This has triggered a spate of complaints. The stand of the respondent-State is that a complaint is pending against the petitioner and is being looked into. It is, however, Criminal Misc.9370-M of 2008 2 admitted that there is a matrimonial dispute between the petitioner and respondent No.4. Learned counsel for the respondent-State also states that there are chances of compromise between the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner has very fairly taken a stand that the petitioner would appear before the Inquiry officer – Incharge, Women Cell, Ferozepur, on 15.12.2008 at 10.00 a.m. The Officer dealing with the matter would be at liberty to summon all the relevant parties on the said date and verify the facts. It is made clear that, thereafter, the petitioner would only be summoned through a notice under Section 160, Code of Criminal Procedure, while assigning specific reasons requiring the presence of the petitioner. These directions would be relevant only in the context of matrimonial dispute between the parties. The petition is disposed of. December 3, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
