RANJIT SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THERE cannot be more frivolous case than the present one. The petitioner herein pleads that he was falsely implicated in a case pertaining to the murder of one Bagga Singh, which was committed on 12.6.1964 regarding which a case was registered at Police Station Dakha. It has been claimed in the petition that the petitioner was falsely implicated and on the basis of procured evidence, he was sentenced to life imprisonment which sentence has already been undergone by him. He has prayed for conducting an independent inquiry to unearth the truth so that years lost by him in jail for no fault of his can be compensated.

(2.) PERUSAL of the petition shows that the murder had taken place on 12.6.1964 and the petitioner was arrested in the said case. After having been convicted and sentenced, the petitioner has since been released after he has completed the term.

(3.) I find no merit whatsoever in the present petition. The same is hereby dismissed. In the fitness of things, it was a case where petitioner should have been burdened to pay exemplary costs for filing a frivolous petition. However, I restrain myself from doing so. Petition dismissed.
