IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CRM-M-3432-2015 (O&M).

Decided on: February 2, 2015.

Kamaljit Kaur ..... Petitioner(s)

Versus

State of Punjab ..... Respondent(s) * * *

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI PRESENT Mr.K.K.Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner.

M.M.S. BEDI, J (ORAL) Petitioner is a Chairperson of an NGO working for the welfare of women providing justice to ladies. Respondent No.5 is alleged to have made an attempt to rape her on 18.7.2014 and abused her in the name of her caste. The petitioner claims that she has moved an application to the Station House Officer (SHO), Police Station, Shimlapuri, Ludhiana, Annexure P2 and Annexure P6 to the Director General of Police, Punjab.

I have gone through Annexures P2 & P6 and I am of the opinion that the commission of offence as alleged will be a debatable issue if seen in context to the provisions of Section 3 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Prima facie, no cognizable offence is made out from the averments in the petition.

RAJ KUMAR ARORA 2015.02.05 17:29 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M-3432-2015 (O&M) I do not find it appropriate, at this stage, to express an opinion whether any cognizable offence is made out from the complaint filed by the petitioner.

This petition is disposed of as not maintainable with liberty to the petitioner to avail any other legal remedy available to her in accordance with law by specifying the alleged cognizable offence committed qua her by any of the culprits. (M.M.S. BEDI) February 2, 2015.
