Present:

Mr. Amit Arora, Advocate for the petitioner.

Mr. Nikhil Kumar Chopra, Addl. A.G., Punjab.

CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT RAWAL -.- AMIT RAWAL J.(ORAL) In pursuance of the notice of motion order, Mr. Nikhil Kumar Chopra, Addl. A.G., Punjab has put in appearance and on instructions from ASI Manpreet Singh submits that the matter is still under investigation.

Mr. Amit Arora, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that it is a case of version and cross-version, for, as per MLR of the petitioner (Annexure P-1), he has also been inflicted injuries. The dispute allegedly is with regard to possession of Gurdwara Sahib but the police has not registered FIR on the complaint of the petitioner as the complainant's side is more influential.

As per the averments made by Mr. Nikhil Kumar Chopra that the matter is at the stage of investigation, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and the petitioner will render full assistance to the police for recovery of the weapon used in alleged offence. Resultantly, the petition is disposed PANKAJ KUMAR 2018.06.19 12:50 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
