CRM No. M-28915 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-28915 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 14.10.2009 Balbir Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Vikas Bali, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. wherein a prayer has been made for transfer of investigation of FIR No.104 dated 3rd August, 2009, under Sections 323, 324, 325, 326, 148 & 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Bholath, District Kapurthala to some independent agency. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that investigation of the aforesaid FIR is not being conducted by the police in a fair and impartial manner. According to the counsel, the FIR was registered more than 2½ months back but still investigation has made no progress. He has prayed that investigation be handed over to some independent agency. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the records annexed with the petition. CRM No. M-28915 of 2009 2 The FIR in this case was registered on 3rd August, 2009. The allegation in the FIR is that accused persons entered into the fields of one Baba Balkar Singh where petitioner alongwith his father was also present. The accused persons attacked the petitioner and other persons present on the spot. The dispute is stated to be over draining of some water which had collected in a pond in the field of Baba Balkar Singh. It is evident that the police is in the midst of conducting investigation of the matter. The FIR was registered on 3rd August, 2009 and investigation is stated to be in progress. In my considered view, the prayer for handing over the investigation of the case to some independent agency, is misconceived. In fact, the petition is totally frivolous. The same is, thus, dismissed.
