IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc M- 7 of 2011 Date of decision: 3.1.2011 Gopal Singh …Petitioner Versus State of Punjab, etc. …Respondent Present: Mr NS Sitta, Advocate for the petitioner. S.S.SARON, J. This petition under Section 482 CrPC has been filed for directing the respondents not to harass and humiliate and illegally confine or illegally raid the house of the petitioner and direct respondent-3 to return the General Power of Attorney executed by Mohinder Singh son of Sarwan Singh on 9.11.2010, in favour of the petitioner. A further prayer has been made for restraining respondent-3 from making abuse of law at the behest of influential persons or otherwise; besides, directing respondents-1 and 2 to take legal action against respondent- 3. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the record, it may be noticed that the primary grievance of the petitioner is that respondent-3 who is Incharge of Police Post Adda Raikot, Jagraon, has forcibly snatched from the petitioner a Power of Attorney dated 9.11.2010 stated to be executed by one Mohinder Singh son of Sarwan Singh in favour of the petitioner regarding his land. However, it may be noticed that the petitioner is not shown to have approached the higher Police officials in the hierarchy of Police Administration. In para 5 of the Cr Misc M-7 of 2011 2 petition, though it is stated that the petitioner approached the higher officials against the atrocities of respondent-3, but the petitioner and his colleagues were not allowed to meet the higher officials. It is not mentioned as to which higher authority did the petitioner go to and who were the colleagues of the petitioner who went with him. The allegations as made are general in nature. Besides, it is not shown as to whether any written complaint was given to any higher Police officials regarding the alleged high handedness of respondent-3. In the facts and circumstances, no ground for issuing directions in exercise of the inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 CrPC is made out. The petitioner may, if so advised, in the first instance, approach the higher Police officials in the hierarchy of Police Administration setting out his grievances. This petition stands disposed of. 3.1.2011 ( S.S.SARON ) ASR Judge
