HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY VASHISTH PRESENT: Mr. Pankaj Garg, Advocate for the petitioner(s). Mr. Manjinder S. Bhullar, DAG, Punjab. **** SANJAY VASHISTH, J. (Oral)
1. Petitioner – Birbal Dass, who is the complainant in complaint bearing case No. NACT-11434-2024, filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (in short, the ‘NI Act’), has filed the present petition under Section 528 of the BNSS, 2023 (earlier Section 482 of the Cr.P.C.), seeking a direction to official respondents No.3 to 5 to arrest respondent No.6, who has been declared a ‘Proclaimed Person’ vide order dated 20.01.2026, passed by the learned JMIC, Chandigarh.
2. By invoking the powers under Section 528 of the BNSS, 2023, this Court cannot assume the role of an Executing Court for implementation of the direction issued by the learned Magistrate. Moreover, it is for the Court concerned alone to call for a report from the concerned SHO regarding compliance with the directions already issued by it.
3. In view of above, present petition is found to be wholly misconceived and not maintainable before this Court. Accordingly, same JAWALA RAM 2026.07.09 10:35 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document
