IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. 10742-M of 2007 DATE OF DECISION : 22.02.2007 Bachan Singh .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. M.S. Rai, Advocate, for the petitioner. Petitioner Bachan Singh, who is complainant in case FIR No. 2 dated 4.1.2007, registered at Police Station Samana, under Section 498-A IPC, has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for issuing directions to respondent No.3 to transfer the investigation of the aforesaid FIR. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the contents of the petition. In this case, FIR was registered in the month of January, 2007 and no allegation of malafide has been alleged against the local police. Counsel for the petitioner contends that since the dowry articles have not been recovered, therefore, investigation in the FIR be transferred to some higher police officer. I am not inclined to transfer the investigation of the case on the above ground, as the investigation is in the domain of the police and any direction at this stage to transfer the investigation will amount to unjustified interference in the fair investigation. Dismissed. February 22, 2007 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
