Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BHARDWAJ Present: Mr. Vivek Salathia, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajesh Bhardwaj, J. (ORAL) Prayer in the present petition is for issuance of directions to respondents No.2 and 3 to immediately stop the third preliminary enquiry being conducted by respondent No.4 with regard to the complaint submitted against the petitioner as already two preliminary equiries dated 14.08.2023 (Annexure P-2) and 27.03.2024 (Annexure P-3) were conducted and were closed after detailed enquiry. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is being harassed by respondents No.5 and 6 in connivance with the Police. He submits that respondent No.5 is mother of the petitioner, whereas, respondent No.6 is his brother. He submits that earlier also complaints were filed, which were enquired into and after having been found false, were filed. He submits that now third complaint has been filed on the same cause of action and thus, the petitioner is being harassed by respondents No.5 and 6 by filing multiple complaints on the same nature of allegations. Notice of motion. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Addl. A.G., Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the State. SHARMILA DEVI 2025.05.20 17:43 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgment PHHC CRM-M-25276-2025 -2- Mr. Premjit Singh Hundal, Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of the complainant. He has vehemently opposed the submissions made by counsel for the petitioner. He has submitted that the petitioner is an Advocate by profession and allegations regarding the enquiries of earlier complaints are false as the petitioner managed to get the complaints filed without associating respondents No.5 and 6. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record, it is apparent that the dispute in the present petition is a family dispute. However, allegations and counter allegations are being made by both the sides. Thus, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.4 i.e. Assistant Commissioner of Police, Crime, Amritsar, to enquire into the complaint pending before him by associating both the petitioner and respondents No.5 and 6 and conclude the same within a period of two weeks from today, in accordance with law.
