Versus

State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present: - Mr. Hardeep Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Through this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for protection of life and liberty of the petitioner at the hands of police officials at the behest of respondent No.5.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the purpose would be achieved if respondent No.3 is directed to decide his application/representation dated 03.08.2017 (Annexure P-3) in a timebound manner. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and after perusing the paper-book, however, without commenting on merits of the case, instant petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.3 - Inspector General of Police, Patiala Range, to decide the representation dated 03.08.2017 (Annexure P-3) within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order by passing a speaking order after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. (RAMENDRA JAIN) August 09, 2017 JUDGE R.S.
