In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Crl.M.No. M-25648/2010(O&M) Date of decision: 1.9.2010. Balbir Kaur ....................Petitioner. v. State of Punjab and others .....................Respondents. Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh. Present:- Mr.Mohinder Kumar,Advocate for the petitioner Jaswant Singh,J.(Oral). Prayer under Section 482 Cr.PC is for handing over the investigation of case FIR No.13 dated 18.5.2010 under Sections 302/120-B and 34 IPC, PS Kabirpur,District Kapurthala to some officer above the rank of SP in Crime Branch. The aforesaid FIR relates to the murder of Sarabjit Singh- husband of the petitioner. It is alleged by the petitioner that Sadhu Singh @ Sadha and Jaswant Singh @ Uttar Singh residents of Village Sardullapur, in connivance with each other killed her husband by mixing poison in the alcohol consumed by the deceased. It is further alleged by her that now the accused persons are openly saying in the village that they have struck a deal with SSP Kapurthala for declaring them innocent and that FIR will be cancelled. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. It is not disputed that though the SHO concerned has recommended a cancellation report, but the matter is being inquired into by DSP, Sultanpur Lodhi. In view of the above, in my opinion, the present petition at this stage is premature. Merely because the accused are allegedly claiming to have struck a deal with SSP Kapurthala for the cancellation of FIR without any material available on record, cannot be made basis for handing over the investigation of the case to SP, Crime Branch. Accordingly,finding no merit the present petition is dismissed as premature at this stage. 1.9.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
