No. M-10464 of 2011 Date of decision : 08.08.2011 Jaspal Singh and others ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Rahul Rampal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Rajesh Bhardwaj, Addl. Advocate General, Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for a direction to respondents No. 1 to 3 to protect life and liberty of the petitioners as they are being harassed by the police. Learned State counsel at the outset submits that investigation has been conducted in the matter and all the petitioners have been found innocent. However, one of the persons named in the FIR namely Gagandeep Singh Rana is absconding and proclamation proceedings are pending against him. In view of the statement made by learned State counsel that petitioners have been found innocent in the investigation, no cause of action survives. Thus, no further orders are required to be passed. The petition is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. August 08, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
