         HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J.

HON’BLE MR. C.M. TOTLA, J.

Mr.HS Sandhu, for the petitioner.

Mr.JPS Choudhary, PP.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

There are serious allegations levelled by the petitioner

in his report submitted to the police on the basis of which

FIR no.12 dated 11.1.2008 was registered in the police

station Sadulsahar. In the said case, FR was submitted by

the SHO, Police Station Sardulsahar in the trial court. It

appears from the copy of the FR that in total 14 witnesses

were examined during investigation and police opined that

no incident as alleged by the petitioner was happened and,

therefore, in fact, case is required to be registered under

Section 182 and 211 Cr.P.C. against the complainant. The

missing person is Geeta @ Gurmeet Singh S/o Iqbal Singh

(petitioner). It appears from the copy of the FR submitted

by the Investigating Officer that even said missing person

Gurmeet Singh @ Geeta has not been interrogated so as to

find out the true story and truthfulness in the allegation of

the petitioner.

Since the FR is pending for consideration before the

trial court, therefore, it will be appropriate that the

petitioner may submit his protest petition before the court

against the FR. The trial court may pass appropriate order

after considering the entire material, which has been placed

by the prosecution along with the FR. There may be a

judicial order under the provisions of the Cr.P.C. and the

court has ample power to do all needful for supervising the

investigation, may not have power to investigate itself.

The appropriate orders can be passed by the court,

therefore, it may be just and proper to allow the petitioner

to approach the trial court.

With these observations, this petition is disposed of

and the trial court is expected to decide the matter

expeditiously without any delay.
