IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-25160 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 19.8.2011 Gurmej Singh ....Petitioner Versus The Senior Superintendent of Police and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.B.S.Mittal, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure praying for appropriate directions to grant the petitioner protection which he apprehends as a measure of threat to his property at the hands of some of the people who are bent upon taking possession. The facts of the case reveal that the petitioner already has an injunctive decree in his favour. He obviously has a remedy before the civil court to execute the decree and to protect his possession. That apart, he also has a remedy of approaching the court of competent jurisdiction for redressal of his grievance in the wake of any violation of his civil right of possession. Under Section 482 of the Code this Court has no mechanism to ascertain the truthfulness of the allegations which have been made and in the exercise thereof the Crl.Misc.No.M-25160 of 2011 (O&M) -2- court is loath to involve the police in disputes which are predominantly civil in nature and for which there are efficacious remedies available to a person. No ground to grant the prayer. The petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to take all other remedies that are available under the law. 19.8.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
