Ms. Bhupinder Pal Kaur Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. .....

Inderjit Singh, J.

This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for issuance of directions to the respondents to follow the principles of humanity and treat the petitioner with dignity he is entitled under the law and the Constitution of India and not to keep him in cells to cause torture, harassment and embarrassment to him.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the record.

As regards for issuance to directions to the respondents to follow the principles of humanity and treat the petitioner with dignity, I find that he has not made any representation to the authorities concerned for redressal of his grievance. There is nothing on the record to show that any harassment has been made to the petitioner.

Cr. Misc. No.M-2934 of 2017 [2] (Annexure-P.1) given by counsel for the petitioner to the Director General of Police, Jail and others, reply to which has been given by the Superintendent of Central Jail, Ferozepur, wherein all the allegations have been denied. It has been mentioned that the then Deputy Superintendent, Central Jail, Ferozepur is not having any grudge against the petitioner. Had it been so, the above noted two sons of Gurdev Singh must have been sent to Central Jail, Bathinda along with Gurdev Singh. Therefore, there is nothing on the record to show that there is any serious harassment to the petitioner, hence no ground is made out for giving direction to the respondents for redressal of his grievance.

Therefore, this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is not liable to be entertained and the same is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to avail the alternative remedy available to him for the redressal of his grievance to file representation to the concerned authority. February 1, 2017.
