IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.130 of 2010 Jasmin Naz Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 06 26.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The prayer of the petitioner is that the concerned respondents should be directed to pay the compensation of Rs. 10 lacs for confinement of Tanveer Alam, aged about 12 years for which another writ application in the nature of Habeas Corpus has been filed vide Cr. W.J.C. No. 409 of 2008 and during the pendency of the said writ application, the aforesaid boy was recovered and produced by the police. The second prayer of the petitioner is that the concerned police official should be departmentally proceeded for illegal confinement of the boy. The third and last prayer of the petitioner is that they should be proceeded criminally as well. Learned counsel for the State submits that on perusal of the complaint filed by the father of the said boy vide Complaint Case No. 734 of 2008, as contained in Annexure- E, it would appear that there is no allegation of the father that his son was kept in illegal confinement by the police. Having heard, it is not clear that in what circumstances this writ application has been filed by the petitioner who claims to be the sister-in-law of the aforesaid boy, namely Md. Tanveer Alam. Besides, in the aforesaid writ application vide Cr. W.J.C. No. 409 of 2008, no such claim was raised with regard to compensation and as such, filing the present writ application for directing the authority concerned to pay the compensation does not appear to be justified. As regards, the grievance of the petitioner that the concerned police official should be proceeded criminally as well, it was always open for the petitioner to take the recourse of law as provided under the Code of Criminal Procedure. In view of the above, I am not inclined to interfere into the matter and the aforesaid application is accordingly, dismissed. Jagdish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
