IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. 7630-M of 2007 DATE OF DECISION : 06.02.2007 R.C. Bajaj .... PETITIONER Versus Director General of Police, Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. S.S. Dalal, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * Petitioner R.C. Bajaj has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for issuing direction to respondents No.1 to 3 to investigate the complaints made by him vide Annexures P-2 to P-6 and further to protect his life and liberty. After hearing counsel for the petitioner and going through the contents of the petition as well as the complaints, Annexures P-2 to P-6, I am of the opinion that the instant case is not an exceptional case where this court should exercise its inherent power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., for issuing direction to register criminal case, as the petitioner has alternative remedy, as has been held by this Court in Mithlesh Kumari v. State of Punjab, 2002 (4) RCR (Criminal) 541 and by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Gangadhar Janardan Mhatre v. State of Maharashtra and others, (2004) 7 SCC 768 and Minu Kumari and another v. State of Bihar and others, (2006) 4 Supreme Court Cases 359. However, as far as providing of protection to the petitioner is concerned, if he feels threat to his life and liberty, it is open for him to apply for protection to DSP of the concerned area and if any such application is filed, the same will be looked into in accordance with law. Dismissed. February 06, 2007 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
