State of Punjab & Ors. ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Petitioner in person. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - (Oral): The petitioner, who has argued his case in person, seeks the following directions:- “a. The issuance of mandamus writ or some other appropriate directions to the respondents No.2, 3 and 4 for the registration of FIR on the face of the Criminal Non- compliance of the procesive letter No.4172 dated 11.10.2008 of the High Court in Contempt (Civil) Appeals No.11 of 2007 as updated and disposed of by this High Court on 8.12.2008 as per the copy marked as Annexure P-2; CWP No.5068 of 2009 2 b. Directions to an independent and an impartial criminal Law Enforcement Machinery of the Union of India for an investigation within the limited time period and for prosecution of all the concerned in terms of and as respecting the above said registered FIR; c. Award of the minimum cost of the ever continuing and irreparable detriment of the petitioner and of the value of Rs.25,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Lakhs) and against the respondent No.1, Punjab State; d. Other directions as may be deemed to be the legally needful ones.” From the photostat copy of the order dated November 4, 2008 passed by a Division Bench of this Court in CACP No.11 of 2007 which the petitioner has placed on record, it is revealed that earlier the petitioner had filed Crl. Misc. No.18975-M of 2007 to declare the judgment dated December 20/21, 2006 of the learned Sessions Judge, Hoshiarpur as infructuous. His petition was dismissed by this Court. He then filed COCP No.1339 of 2007 alleging deliberate disobedience of an order dated May 3, 2007 passed by this Court. The contempt petition was dismissed with costs of Rs.20,000/- as it was found to be an abuse of process of law. The petitioner went in CACP No.11 of 2007 which was also dismissed on October 12, 2007 with costs of Rs.20,000/-. The Division Bench, however, directed that in the event of failure of payment of costs, the appeal be re- listed for motion hearing so as to effect recovery of costs. The matter was accordingly re-listed. A Division Bench of this Court absolved the petitioner from the cost liability after observing as CWP No.5068 of 2009 3 follows:- “Dharamvir Khosla is not a rational human being. He raised fantastic arguments in a loud voice which made no sense. We are of the view that Dharamvir Khosla is suffering either disillusions of grandeur or some form of schizophrenia. Furthermore, he is unable to pay the costs of Rs.20,000/- each imposed on him by the Hon'ble Single Judge and the Hon'ble Division Bench. He is poor and homeless. He lives in a Dharamshala, probability on charity. Therefore, ends of justice will be amply served if Dharamvir Khosla is sentenced till the rising of the Court for failure to pay costs of Rs.40,000/-. No useful purpose will be served by sending him to civil prison.” The petitioner has now filed the present civil writ petition with the prayers, reproduced above, inter-alia, alleging that the respondents have failed to take prompt action on the letter issued by the Registry of this Court forwarding copy of the judgment of the Division Bench dated 8.12.2008. The averments made in the writ petition do not make any head or tail. The petitioner, as it appears, mainly wants a firm action against the 'demons' who are ruining the 'parliamentary system of democracy'. I am afraid, no such direction can be issued by a writ court. Dismissed. March 31, 2009. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
