Crl. Misc. No. M-33584 of 2009 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-33584 of 2009 Date of decision: 27.11.2009 Sulakhan Singh --- Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ---- Respondents Before: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. Kamal Grover, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (Oral) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking release of the tractor, which is alleged to have been taken away by the accused. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that an FIR bearing No.129 dated 11th August, 2009 was lodged under Sections 420, 406, 120-B IPC at Police Station City Gurdaspur, with the allegation that a tractor of Sonalika make had been stolen by the accused from the agency of the petitioner. According to the counsel despite elapse of almost three months, the police has failed to recover the tractor. He, thus, submits that a direction need to be issued to the police to immediately effect recovery of the tractor in question. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. Crl. Misc. No. M-33584 of 2009 (2) The FIR was lodged on 11th August, 2009 and the matter is admittedly still under investigation. Learned counsel has not been able to point out any laxity on the part of the police in conducting investigation. Under the circumstances, no direction is required to be issued by this court to conduct investigation in a particular manner. The prayer made in the petition is totally misconceived. The petition is thus dismissed being devoid of merit. [Rajan Gupta] Judge November 27, 2009. 'rajpal'
