Karanbir Singh v. State Of Punjab & ORS

CRM-M 35416/2015

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH Date of decision:15.10.2015 Karanbir Singh .............Petitioner v.

State of Punjab and others .............Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present:- Mr.MS Jandiala,Advocate for the petitioner Jaswant Singh,J.(Oral) Prayer is for direction to the police authorities to conduct free and fair investigations in FIR No.97 dated 4.6.2015 under Sections 323,341,506,34 and 304 IPC,PS Lalru,Tehsil Dera Bassi, Distt.SAS Nagar. In the alternative prayer is for transfer of investigations. A quarrel over a trivial issue is alleged to have occurred between the neighbors wherein the aged mother of the petitioner was allegedly pushed by the accused party causing her fall. She is stated to have subsequently died on 5.6.2015. On account of her death offence under Section 304 IPC has been added in the FIR. It is evident that cause of death is yet to be ascertained since the report of Histopathological examination and chemical examination is yet to be received.

After hearing counsel for the petitioner no case for RAJINDER PRASHAD JOSHI 2015.10.15 18:02 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document High Court, Chandigarh.

CRM-M 35416/2015 interference is made out.

Concededly the investigations are in progress and it is not the jurisdiction of this Court at this stage to give any direction lest it hampers free and fair investigations. It is highly doubtful at this stage if offence even under Section 304-II much less 302 IPC would be made out.

Dismissed.

15.10.2015.
