IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-37748 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 3.8.2011 Dharamjit Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Rahul Rampal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.B.B.S.Teji, Sr.DAG, Punjab. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that he has no further instructions from the petitioner. The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for issuance of directions to respondents No.1 to 3 to protect his life and liberty at the hands of respondents No.4 to 6. He had represented before this Court that even though no complaint or application was pending investigation in the Police Station Sadar Khanna, but respondents No.4 to 6 were harassing him by calling him to the police station at the instance of his in-laws and were also threatening him. It has been further averred that he was illegally detained in police station on 10.12.2010 and 16.12.2010. Crl.Misc.No.M-37748 of 2010 (O&M) -2- In the reply submitted by the respondents the allegations were denied. However, it was admitted that the petitioner was called in the police station only on 10.12.2010. The facts of the case further reveal that the petitioner is having a dispute with his wife and in the backdrop of this marital discord such allegations have been made. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the opinion that this is a sheer abuse of the process of law as the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be abused in order to settle scores inter se between the feuding parties. For the said reason the petition is dismissed. 3.8.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
