IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-26283 of 2011 (O & M) Date of decision: 30.08.2011 Kewal Krishan ..... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ..... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Tribhawan Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking protection of life and liberty of the petitioner as he apprehends danger at the hands of respondents No.5 to 12. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the limited prayer in this petition is that life and liberty of the petitioner may be protected as the private respondents (respondents No.5 to 12) trespassed the liquor vend owned by the petitioner. From the facts mentioned in the petition, it is not clear how life and liberty of the petitioner is threatened. The petition is, thus, without any merit and does not require any interference in inherent jurisdiction of this court. Needless to observe that even otherwise it is the duty of the State to protect the life and liberty of its citizens. Dismissed. The petitioner, if so, may be advised and make appropriate representation to the concerned authority. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE August 30, 2011 sukhpreet
