JUSTICE SURYA PARTAP SINGH. Present: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. SURYA PARTAP SINGH , J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed against the order dated 02.08.2025, whereby learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, NIR Court, Jalandhar, has declined the request of the petitioner for issuance of a direction to the police to register FIR. Instead of doing so, a direction has been issued to the petitioner to lead preliminary evidence. The allegatio ns in the complaint filed by the petitioner are with regard to threatening and attacking his house. For such offence, custodial interrogation of the accused is not required. Therefore, while exercising its discretion not to issue a direction for lodging of FIR and directing the petitioner to lead preliminary evidence apparently, no error has been committed by the learned trial Court. In fact by virtue of above-mentioned order, no prejudice has been caused to the petitioner. In view of above-mentioned observations, once there is no merit in the present petition, the same is hereby dismissed, accordingly. 08.09.2025 ( SURYA PARTAP SINGH) monika verma JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned : Yes/No Whether reportable : Yes/No MONIKA VERMA 2025.09.10 09:35 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment chandigarh
