IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AND CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 34427 of 2008 Date of decision: January 7, 2009 Gurbaz Singh ….. Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ….. Respondents Present: Mr. Vikram Malik, Advocate for Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. *** S.S. SARON, J. This petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (“CrPC” – for short) has been filed for issuance of direction to the Police officials to secure the life and liberty of the petitioner and not to unnecessarily harass him. The petitioner it is stated is a truck mechanic and working in the Kiosks at Truck Union, Sector -4, Karnal. The petitioner has also borrowed money from the Bank and has got a loan in his favour for constructing his house at Jyoti Nagar. From the averments made in the petition, it appears that the petitioner is being called in connection with the investigation of theft of a truck. The petitioner, however, denies any involvement in the theft of any truck. It is well known that the field of investigation is the domain of the Police and the Courts are normally not to interfere in the same. However, in case there is any infraction of the right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, the Courts are to secure the right by issuing necessary directions or passing such orders in respect thereof. In the facts and circumstances and keeping in view the nature of allegations, it would be just and expedient that in case the petitioner is required in Crl. Misc. No. M- 34427 of 2008 [2] connection with any investigation of a cognizable offence, he be summoned by the Police officials by way of a written requisition in terms of Section 160 CrPC. Accordingly, the Crl. Misc. petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.3 that in case the petitioner is required in connection with the investigation of a cognizable offence, his presence be secured by way of a written requisition in terms of Section 160 CrPC.
