Criminal Misc. No. M-25250 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-25250 of 2011 Date of decision : 23.08.2011 Raja Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.K. Bawa, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) In this petition preferred by the petitioner invoking inherent jurisdiction of this court a direction has been sought to official respondents to protect his life, liberty and property as he apprehend danger at the instance of respondents No. 5 to 10. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondents No. 5 to 10 are owners of certain land adjoining the land of the petitioner. Demarcation was done by the Patwari on the application of respondents No. 5 to 10 and possession of both the parties was found intact. However, now respondents No. 5 to 10 have started harassing the petitioner with the help of police and thus intervention of this court is required. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. In view of the averments made in the petition, it appears that dispute between the petitioner and private respondents is of civil in nature. It is inexplicable why this petition under section 482 Cr.PC. has been preferred before this court. Apparently, the petitioner has tried to resolve Criminal Misc. No. M-25250 of 2011 2 the property dispute by invoking inherent jurisdiction of this court. The petition of this nature deserves to be dismissed with exemplary costs. However, this court is refraining from doing so as economic status of the petitioner is not known. The petition is, however, dismissed being without any merit and totally frivolous.
