PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRWP-4032-2024 Date of Decision : May 03 & Anr. v. STATE OF PUNJAB & Ors.

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI Present: Mr. Karandeep Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. *** KULDEEP TIWARI, J. (ORAL)

Through the instant petition, as filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have sought issuance of directions upon the respondent No.2, to ensure protection of their lives and liberty at the hands of respondents No.4 to 8.

The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that, for redressal of their grievance, although the petitioners have made a representation dated 30.04.2024 (Annexure P-3) to the respondent No.2, however, the said representation has remained un-actioned, therefore, the petitioners have been constrained to access this Court for redressal of their grievance.

However, while traversing the record, as available before this Court, it has emerged that the representation (Annexure P-3) has been sent by the petitioners, through courier on 30.04.2024, while the instant petition has also been filed hastily on the very same date, i.e. 30.04.2024, without awaiting any response or outcome of the representation (supra). DEVINDER YADAV 2024.05.03 16:40 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment CRWP-4032-2024 2 Therefore, the above conduct of the petitioners impels this Court to draw an inference that the petitioners have, instead of permitting the officer/authority concerned to act upon their representation (supra), straightaway approached this Court.

Consequently, the instant petition, being a premature motion, is dismissed and warrants no interference being made by this Court at this stage.
