In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh ...... Criminal Misc. No.M-24942 of 2010 ..... Date of decision:20.9.2010 Virsa Singh .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab and another .....Respondents .... Present: Mr. G.S. Verma, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... S.S. Saron, J. The petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.167 dated 12.11.2009 (Annexure-P.1) registered at Police Station Zira, District Ferozepur for the offences under Sections 324, 323, 148 and 149 Indian Penal Code (`IPC' – for short) and later offences under Sections 307 and 326 IPC were also added. The FIR in the case has been registered on the statement of Kulwant Singh (respondent No.2) who has alleged that he was attacked while he was admitted at Civil Hospital, Zira for treatment. On 10.11.2009 at about 7.00 a.m., in the morning complainant-Kulwant Singh (respondent No.2) was lying on his bed and was being looked after by his father Amar Singh. At that time, the friend of the complainant, namely, Balwant Singh son of Joginder Singh was present with him in the hospital. Then the assailants came and attacked the complainant and his father. Virsa Singh (petitioner) is said to have given a `Kappa' blow to the complainant which hit on his backside of the left elbow. Cr. Misc. No.M-24942 of 2010 [2] Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the matter was considered by the Punjab State Human Rights Commission and in the memo dated 10.5.2010 (Annexure-P.4) from the Additional Director General of Police, Punjab State Human Rights Commission, Chandigarh to the Secretary of Punjab State Human Rights Commission it has been held that two persons had attacked Kulwant Singh (respondent No.2) on 10.11.2009 in the hospital and he got FIR (Annexure-P.1) registered against 10 persons. During the inquiry, Virsa Singh (petitioner), Balwant Singh and Daljit Singh had produced evidence in support of their innocence which clearly proved that on 10.11.2009 they had not attacked Kulwant Singh (respondent No.2) in the hospital. It was observed that Kulwant Singh (respondent No.2) had falsely involved Virsa Singh (petitioner), Balwant Singh and Daljit Singh and five others in the FIR (Annexure-P.1). During the inquiry, Virsa Singh (petitioner), Balwant Singh and Daljit Singh were found innocent. However, a Special Investigation Team constituted by S.S.P., Ferozepur was still conducting investigation in the case. It was submitted that the Hon'ble Commission may take appropriate action. The matter, therefore, is admittedly under consideration of the Special Investigation Team constituted by the S.S.P., Ferozepur. This Court in exercise of its inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is normally not to interfere in the investigating process by the Police for it is the domain of the Police to investigate into the same. The petitioner may, if so advised, raise the contentions as regards his innocence before the Special Investigation Team. However, no ground is made out for this Court to interfere in the investigation at this stage. Cr. Misc. No.M-24942 of 2010 [3] Accordingly, the criminal miscellaneous petition is dismissed.
