Crl. Revision No. 2642 of 2010 (O&M) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No.2642 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 29.08.2011 Dharampal ……Petitioner Versus Jit Singh Mehra and others …….Respondents CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. Bijender Dhankhar, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** A.N. Jindal, J. Crl. Misc. No. 50680 of 2010 In view of the averments mentioned in the application, same is allowed and delay of 21 days in filing of the petition is condoned. Crl. Revision No.2642 of 2010 Assailed in this petition is the order dated 26.05.2010 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Sonepat, whereby the accused- respondents were acquitted at the stage of charge. Having scrutinized the impugned order, it appears that the evidence has been appreciated in the right perspective. The accused No.1 to 4 and 5 being public servants had acted on the orders of the Deputy Commissioner, Sonepat, to get the Panchayat Ghar of village Rajlugarhi vacated, which was allegedly under the unauthorized occupation of the complainant. Accused No.7-Savitri had also moved an application to the 1 Crl. Revision No. 2642 of 2010 (O&M) Chief Minister, Haryana, for getting the Panchayat Ghar vacated from the complainant-Dharampal, on which the Deputy Commissioner, Sonepat, had directed the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Ganaur, to get the unauthorized possession vacated immediately. Apparently, in compliance with the aforesaid order, the accused No.1 with the help of accused Nos. 2 to 4, had taken possession of the Panchayat Ghar. The action taken by the accused being public servants in discharge of their duties, could not invite their prosecution in the absence of sanction obtained against them. The trial Court judgment sans any illegality warranting interference by this Court. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. (A.N.Jindal) 29th August, 2011 Judge ajp 2
