IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. 31342-M of 2007 Date of decision: 16th January, 2009 Jagdish Kaur … Petitioner Versus Jaideep Singh … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. B.B.S. Sobti, Advocate for the petitioner. Respondent in person. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Complainant has stated in the complaint that he was adopted as a son by Shingara Singh by way of a registered adoption deed. Grievance of the complainant is that the fact of adoption was not stated before the Assistant Collector, Grade II, who had sanctioned the mutation by the sons and daughters of Shingara Singh, who claimed natural succession. Thus, according to the complainant, offence is made out against the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner has stated that Judicial Magistrate (1st Class), Taran Tarn has not applied his mind and has summoned them on the ground that the accused had fabricated a false Will and had got the mutation of inheritance from Shingara Singh on the basis of said Will. Counsel further states that the accused, who is one of the natural daughters of Shingara Singh, along with her brother and sister had placed reliance upon no Will. Criminal Misc. No. 31342-M of 2007 Complainant is present in Court. He has stated that some of the co-accused have filed revision in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar and this fact has not been disclosed before this Court. To controvert this fact, counsel for the petitioner has stated that no revision was filed by the petitioner. Complainant, who is present in Court, has further stated that some of the accused have filed Criminal Misc. No.44308-M of 2006 in this Court and the same was dismissed as withdrawn on 31st July, 2008. The order of the dismissal of the quashing petition, filed by the co-accused, as withdrawn, stands as impediment in the way of the petitioner. Therefore, no interference is warranted. However, petitioner may raise all arguments, available to her under law, before the trial Court, at appropriate stage. Therefore, present petition is disposed off, with liberty aforesaid.
