IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-24704 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : September 04, 2009 Sukha Singh s/o Puran Singh and others .... Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab and others .... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH * * * Present : Mr. B.S.Bhinder, Advocate for the petitioners. * * * AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) In the present petition, serious allegations have been levelled against the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mukerian Sh. Dharm Vir, wherein it is alleged that the petitioners are being harassed and are being forced to part with the possession of the land, for which civil suit is already pending at the behest of Bimla Devi-respondent No. 3 and Pannu Ram- respondent No. 4. Counsel for the petitioners contends that they have been threatened that false cases will be registered against them if they do not part with their possession. He contends that respondents No. 3 and 4 having failed to get possession over the land through Civil Courts are now exercising the illegal means through the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mukerian-respondent No. 2. Documents have been placed on record, which show that the possession of the petitioners on the land is Crl. Misc. No. M-24704 of 2009 (O&M) -2- established. He further contends that the Deputy Superintendent of Police- respondent No. 2 is bent upon harming the interest of the petitioners with regard to the land in question and, therefore, they may be protected from the illegal acts of respondent No. 2. The petitioners are directed to file a representation before the Senior Superintendent of Police, Hoshiarpur within a period of four days from today and if such a representation is made detailing therein the grudge and grievances of the petitioners as they have made in the present petition along with the documents supporting their contentions, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Hoshiapur shall consider the same and take necessary steps in accordance with law expeditiously. Petition stands disposed of. September 04, 2009 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) pj JUDGE
