IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-23275 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 3.8.2011 Shanti Parkash ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Sukhraj Singh Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying that respondent No.4 be restrained from dispossessing him from the house. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that this is a sheer abuse of the process of law and the provisions of Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Implicit in the facts of the case is a civil dispute where a possession is being threatened for which the petitioner has a remedy under the civil law. It is not understandable as to how the provisions of Section 482 of the Code are invoked with an expectation that it is the panacea for all the disputes that exist be it criminal or civil. The petition is dismissed with costs of Rs.5,000/- to be Crl.Misc.No.M-23275 of 2011 (O&M) -2- paid before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre of this Court. 3.8.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
