Crl. Writ Petition No. 677 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Writ Petition No. 677 of 2011 Date of Decision : April 08, 2011 By post .... PETITIONER Vs. State of Punjab ..... RESPONDENT CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH * * * Present : None for the petitioner. Mr. P.S.Sidhu, Addl. A. G. Punjab. * * * AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) A telegram dated 10.03.2011 was received from one Harpreet Singh son of Satnam Singh who had alleged therein that his father-in-law Jagir Singh has taken away his wife without her consent and has also taken away her car which was gifted to her at the time of marriage and sold it away. His father-in-law does not want the marriage to succeed and he is intending to take his wife to England showing her to be an unmarried lady. Upon notice of motion having been issued to the State of Punjab, reply by way of short affidavit of Balwinder Singh, PPS, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Zira, District Ferozepur has been filed in Court. Crl. Writ Petition No. 677 of 2011 2 Para 2 of the said affidavit reads as follows:- “ That in connection with this writ petition H.C. Kulwant Singh No. 1857/Fzr of police station Makhu Tehsil Zira was deputed to make an enquiry and H.C. Kulwant Singh recorded the statement of petitioner Harpreet Singh son of Satnam Singh, Jat Sikh resident of village Baghel Singh Wala alias Godal Wala P.S. Sadar Ferozepur. He also recorded the statement of Kuljit Kaur wife of Harpreet Singh petitioner, daughter of Jagir Singh and Jagir Singh son of Tara Singh Jat Sikh resident of Sadhar Wala P.S. Makhu Tehsil Zira, SHO, P.S. Makhu has submitted a report that the petitioner was married with Kuljit Kaur on 2.4.2006 but thereafter family dispute arose between them and now Kuljit Kaur wife of Harpreet Singh is residing with her parents at Village Sadhar wala. Car No. PB 05 L 6345 Alto Maruti was given by Jagir Singh at the time of marriage of his daughter to his daughter and when there arose a dispute, Jagir Singh took the car in the month of August, 2010 as he was having fear that Harpreet Singh may not misuse the car. It was stated by Kuljit Kaur and her father that Harpreet Singh petitioner is indulging in intoxicants and Harpreet Singh used to maltreat Kuljit Kaur. The father of Kuljit Kaur waited for sufficient time with this hope that Harpreet Singh may mend his ways but the behaviour of Harpreet Singh was not changed. The car was in the name of Jagir Singh and he sold the same further in Crl. Writ Petition No. 677 of 2011 3 February, 2011. So far as the question of passport of Kuljit Kaur is concerned the same is with the petitioner as per statement of Kuljit Kaur. No offence against Jagir Singh is made out so the taking of passport of Jagir Singh into possession is not desirable. Jagir Singh is not spoiling the married life of the petitioner rather it is the petitioner who is not mending his ways and a family dispute arose between the husband and wife. As per investigation, Jagir Singh does not want to take to England Kuljit Kaur his daughter by showing her as unmarried. The petition moved by Harpreet Singh is false and frivolous. The report of S.H.O. P.S.Makhu and the statements of Harpreet Singh, Jagir Singh and Kuljit Kaur are attached herewith for kind perusal, as annexures R-1/T, R-2/T, R-3/T and R-4/T respectively.” In view of the contents of the affidavit, as reproduced above, no further action is called for. The writ petition stands dismissed. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) April 08, 2011 JUDGE pj
