IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-26517 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 5.9.2011 Surinder Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Vivek Goyal, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure with a prayer that the official respondents be directed to initiate action against the private respondents who are giving him threatening calls. On an earlier occasion, the petitioner had approached this Court by way of Crl.Misc.No.M-35101 of 2010 wherein the official respondents had made a statement before this Court that after the process of investigation, proceedings against the four persons named as accused have been initiated under Section 107/150 Cr.P.C. An assurance was given before this Court that as and when any further incident is brought to the notice of the police authorities by the petitioner, appropriate action shall be taken. The petition was disposed of on the strength of the assurance given before this Court. Crl.Misc.No.M-26517 of 2011 (O&M) -2- The instant petition has been filed invoking the powers of this Court under Section 482 of the Code, once again. A prayer has been made that respondents No.4 and 5 are once again indulging in similar activities of holding out threats to the petitioner on telephone. The petitioner contends that appropriate representations have been made to the official respondents who are not acting upon them. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the opinion that the instant petition is a sheer abuse of the process of law. The petitioner has appropriate remedies of approaching the court of competent jurisdiction for redressal of his grievance. He has already approached this Court and thereafter some action was initiated against the private respondents who were indulging in unwarranted activities. This Court is of the opinion that the petitioner is not without any remedy and the provision of Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be invoked to direct the official respondents to register a case in view of the specific observations of the apex court in Sakiri Vasu's case. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. 5.9.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
