Kulwant Kaur & Another vs State Of Punjab & Others on 4 December, 2008<\/div>\n
       IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT\n                       CHANDIGARH\n\n\n\n                                        Crl. Misc. No. 20246-M of 2008\n                                 DATE OF DECISION: December 04, 2008\n\n\n\nKulwant Kaur & Another\n                                                     .........PETITIONER(S)\n\n                                 VERSUS\n\nState of Punjab & Others\n                                                     ......RESPONDENT(S)\n\n\n\n\nCORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA\n\nPresent:           Mr. Arun Takhi, Advocate,\n                   for the petitioners.\n\n                   Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab.\n\nAJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL)\n<\/pre>\n
                    This petition has been filed by Kulwant Kaur and Kapil<\/p>\n
Dev, petitioners no. 1 & 2 respectively under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying<\/p>\n
for issuance of direction to respondents no. 4 to 6 to produce the entire<\/p>\n
record pertaining to case FIR No. 90 dated 12.05.2008 under Section 452,<\/p>\n
307, 325, 323, 148, 149, 427 IPC, P.S. Sultanpur Lidhi, District Kapurthala<\/p>\n
so as to explain as to under what circumstances car make Indigo bearing<\/p>\n
registration No. PB-07-Q 3550, of which petitioner no. 2 Kapil Dev is the<\/p>\n
registered owner, has been taken in police custody illegally and forcibly<\/p>\n
from the possession of petitioner no. 1 after 2-1\/2 months of registration of<\/p>\n
the FIR.\n<\/p>\n
 Crl. Misc. No. 20246-M of 2008                                     -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
                    Having considered the contentions raised in the petition,<\/p>\n
notice of motion was issued. Vide order dated 22.11.2008, police record<\/p>\n
was required to be produced.\n<\/p>\n
                    Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the car<\/p>\n
belongs to Kapil Dev, petitioner no. 2. The same was given to petitioner no.<\/p>\n
1, a relative. Petitioner no. 1 was visiting her brother namely Bikkar Singh<\/p>\n
on 26.07.2008 where the car of the petitioner bearing No. PB-07-Q 3550<\/p>\n
was taken in custody by respondents no. 5 and 6 namely Sh. Lakhwinder<\/p>\n
Singh Mall, SHO Police Station Sultanpur Lodhi and Sh. Surinder Singh,<\/p>\n
Sub Inspector, Police Post Mothawal, Police Station Sultanpur Lodhi who<\/p>\n
had come alongwith 7-8 other police officials. The specific ground taken by<\/p>\n
the learned counsel for the petitioner is that none of the petitioners is<\/p>\n
connected with the offence that forms the basis of registering FIR<\/p>\n
mentioned above. The car at issue was not involved in the commission of<\/p>\n
the offence in any way either for carrying the alleged offenders or<\/p>\n
otherwise. Yet the vehicle has been taken in possession on 26.07.2008.<\/p>\n
                    The record has been produced today and has been<\/p>\n
perused with the assistance of Sh. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab.<\/p>\n
                    I have considered the issue. The statements of the<\/p>\n
relevant witnesses have been read in extenso in Court.<\/p>\n
                    It transpires that the FIR was lodged at the instance of<\/p>\n
Mohinder Singh son of Teja Singh on 12.05.2008. The statement on the<\/p>\n
basis of which FIR has been lodged, does not indicate or mention that the<\/p>\n
accused named in FIR alongwith 10\/15 persons came by car or that they had<\/p>\n
left the spot in the car. Rather the statement clearly states “more people of
\n Crl. Misc. No. 20246-M of 2008                                     -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
the village also got together, other than the above accused while abusing<\/p>\n
and raising lalkara ran away from the spot with their weapons.”<\/p>\n
                     It seems that supplementary statement of Mohinder<\/p>\n
Singh son of Teja Singh was taken in which also there is no mention of any<\/p>\n
vehicle having been used for any purpose. The only other persons who are<\/p>\n
shown to have witnessed the incident are Balwant Singh son of Lakshman<\/p>\n
Singh, Harbans Singh son of Bhan Singh, Bhajan Kaur wife of Shingara<\/p>\n
Singh and Manjinder Singh son of Mohinder Singh, the complainant.<\/p>\n
Reading of the statements of Balwant singh, Harbans Singh and Bhajan<\/p>\n
Kaur also bring out the fact that car was not used either in bringing the<\/p>\n
accused on the spot or for taking away the accused from the spot after the<\/p>\n
incident. Rather the statements do not mention the car being anywhere at the<\/p>\n
place of incident.\n<\/p>\n
                     Learned     counsel   for   the   respondent-State,   on<\/p>\n
instructions from HC Satpal Singh, has pointed out that the car finds a<\/p>\n
mention in the statement of Manjinder Singh recorded on 13.05.2008. The<\/p>\n
reply filed by way of affidavit of Inspector Lakhwinder Singh, SHO P.S.<\/p>\n
Sultanpur Lodhi is also to the same effect that the car had been seized vide a<\/p>\n
seizure memo dated 26.07.2008 on the basis of statement of Manjinder<\/p>\n
Singh son of Mohinder Singh, the complainant.\n<\/p>\n
                     I have gone through the statement of Manjinder Singh<\/p>\n
also.\n<\/p>\n
                     On a pointed query of the Court, it was revealed by<\/p>\n
Head Constable Satpal Singh that statement of Manjinder Singh was also<\/p>\n
recorded on 12.05.2008. The statements of Manjinder Singh son of
\n Crl. Misc. No. 20246-M of 2008                                      -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
Mohinder Singh recorded on 12.05.2008 and on 13.05.2008, in vernacular<\/p>\n
and in translation form, are taken on record.\n<\/p>\n
                    In the statement of Manjinder Singh recorded under<\/p>\n
Section 161 Cr.P.C on 12.05.2008, the specific stand of the witness is that<\/p>\n
the accused, after commission of the offence, ran away. The car has not<\/p>\n
been mentioned. It is only in the statement purportedly recorded on<\/p>\n
13.05.2008 that the alleged witness Manjinder Singh states that on account<\/p>\n
of anxiety on the earlier date i.e. on 12.05.2008, the car was not mentioned<\/p>\n
and for the purpose, the supplementary statement is being given.<\/p>\n
                    I have referred to the site plan which was prepared at<\/p>\n
the instance of Harbans Singh, one of the witnesses. Even the site plan does<\/p>\n
not show the car indicating the place where the car was parked or where<\/p>\n
from the accused boarded the car and fled.\n<\/p>\n
                    In the facts and circumstances of the case, learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the respondent has not been able to support the seizure of the car<\/p>\n
in the case in hand. Learned counsel has not been able to draw the attention<\/p>\n
of the Court towards any other material from the record which would justify<\/p>\n
taking the vehicle in possession.\n<\/p>\n
                    I find that neither the statement which forms the basis of<\/p>\n
the FIR nor the statement of either of the persons who could have<\/p>\n
knowledge or information in regard to the commission of the crime have<\/p>\n
mentioned the car. It is only in the supplementary statement of Manjinder<\/p>\n
Singh recorded on 13.5.2008 and that too in its concluding portion that the<\/p>\n
car has been mentioned. It becomes evident that the car has been taken in<\/p>\n
possession by the investigating agency without there being any legal reason
\n Crl. Misc. No. 20246-M of 2008                                        -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
that could be supported by any material. It is in clear abuse of process of<\/p>\n
law that the car was seized.\n<\/p>\n
                     The supplementary statement of Manjinder Singh under<\/p>\n
Section 161 Cr.P.C. was taken by Surinder Singh, Sub Inspector, respondent<\/p>\n
No.6 on 13.5.2006. The vehicle was also seized by the same official vide<\/p>\n
the seizure memo. I find that the said official i.e. Surinder Singh, Sub<\/p>\n
Inspector, has abused the authority vested in him under the Code of<\/p>\n
Criminal Procedure in taking the vehicle mentioned above in possession.<\/p>\n
The consistent case of all the witnesses is that the accused named in the FIR<\/p>\n
alongwith 10-15 other persons came and after the incident, ran away. The<\/p>\n
statement of Manjinder Singh taken on 13.5.2008 is clearly without any<\/p>\n
basis and is fabricated only so as to seize the vehicle, for malafide reasons<\/p>\n
and for reasons that cannot be justified in the investigation of the matter.<\/p>\n
                     I am of the considered opinion that the vehicle at issue<\/p>\n
cannot possibly be termed as case property as it is not connected in any<\/p>\n
manner in commission of the crime. Admittedly, none of the petitioners is<\/p>\n
connected with the incident in any way.\n<\/p>\n
                     The car would not aid the investigating agency in any<\/p>\n
manner or the prosecuting agency in prosecution of the case. I am of the<\/p>\n
opinion that so as to prevent the abuse of process of Court, the petition<\/p>\n
needs to be allowed. So as to secure the ends of justice, the vehicle is<\/p>\n
required to be restored to petitioner No.2, Kapil Dev, the registered owner.<\/p>\n
                     Under the facts and circumstances mentioned above, the<\/p>\n
petition is allowed. The car make \u201eIndigo\u201f bearing registration No.PB-07Q-<\/p>\n
3550 would be returned back to petitioner No.2 within three days on receipt<\/p>\n
of certified copy of the order.\n<\/p>\n
 Crl. Misc. No. 20246-M of 2008                                      -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
                    In view of the fact that the respondents have not been<\/p>\n
able to give any justification much less reasonable justification to support<\/p>\n
the seizure and continuous possession of the car since 26.7.2007, and this<\/p>\n
Court having held that the vehicle was seized in abuse of process of law, in<\/p>\n
malafide exercise of power of Surinder Singh, Sub Inspector, and in abuse<\/p>\n
of authority vested in the said official by the Code of Criminal Procedure, it<\/p>\n
is directed that petitioner No.2 would be compensated by way of payment of<\/p>\n
Rs.15,000\/- for depriving him of the use of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
                    Copy of the order be sent to the Secretary Home, Punjab<\/p>\n
and Director General of Police, Punjab to apprise them about the conduct of<\/p>\n
the official(s) related with the case so that appropriate action, departmental<\/p>\n
or otherwise, can be taken.<\/p>\n
