2 "Through the instant petition, a prayer is made to invoke the inherent power of this Court for issuance of directions upon official respondents, to fairly investigate the death of father of the present petitioner. As per the petitioner, his father died in mysterious circumstances. This matter is pending consideration since the year 2017.

Today, learned State counsel on instructions imparted to him by ASI Mahinder Singh, submits that the enquiry is still pending, and

*

















no final decision has been taken so far. This Court is unable to comprehend the manner in which the Punjab Police is proceeding in the instant matter. First of all, no reason has come forth as to why there being a specific information regarding commission of cognizable offence, no FIR has been registered so far. This is a clear cut violation of the plea raised in the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Lalita Kumari Vs. Govt. of India SC (2013) (4) RCR Criminal 979. Further it is also informed that the enquiry is being conducted at various levels, and forensic reports are also concluded during enquiry.

Let the Senior Superintendent of Police concerned file his personal affidavit explaining therein, that how come, without registration of an FIR, the enquiry is being conducted by the Punjab Police, that too, when there are allegations of death of a person in mysterious circumstances. He shall also give detail of the enquiry as on today, as conducted, alongwith the information asked for by this Court.

Adjourned to 10.04.2024.

To be shown in the urgent list.

In case the Superintendent of Police concerned failed to file the affidavit he shall cause his personal appearance on the next date of hearing.
