N.S.SHEKHAWAT , J. (Oral)
1. The petitioner had filed the present petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. with a prayer to direct the respondent No. 2 to register the FIR in the present case against the private respondents, which includes two advocates and four judicial officers posted at different stations, as the private respondents had grabbed the public property in collusion with each other by misusing their positions in the judiciary. It was further prayed that the directions may be issued to hand over the matter to CBI or to some senior judicial officer in the present case. 2. During the course of arguments, the petitioner, who claims to be a practicing lawyer and a member of Bar Association of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh, appeared in person and stated that he did not wish to argue the case and his written submissions may be considered as his arguments. Since from the record, it is apparent that the petitioner was seeking adjournment in the present case on the one pretext or the other, this Court had appointed Mr. Jasdev Singh Mehndiratta, Advocate as Amicus Curiae to assist the Court.
3. In the petition/written submissions, it has been mentioned that respondents No. 3 and 4 (Advocates at District Court, Kaithal) and respondents No. 9 to 12 had registered a fake society, i.e., MMV Samiti, Indira Gandhi College, Kaithal to grab the public property and their family members were also the members of these fake societies. The respondents No. 5 to 8, who are senior judicial officers in Haryana, were given money and as a result, these judicial officers had decided the cases of other private respondents in less than 06 months. Whereas, the cases which were filed against the private respondents were pending since long time. The petitioner had made complaint against the judicial officers, when they were posted at Kaithal. Even, the complaints were moved to the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana against the respondents No. 3 and 4, but the members of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana were also working on the instructions of respondents No. 3 and 4, 9 to 12. The petitioner filed a complaint before the Magistrate, but the officer refused to take action against the private respondents and asked the petitioner to approach the High Court. The respondents No. 3 and 4, 9 to 12 had claimed that they had links with the Hon’ble Judges of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh. Some times, due to pressure, the petitioner had to withdraw the power of attorney from many cases.
4. It has been further mentioned in the petition that it is not possible to get the matter investigated from the police and may be handed over to the CBI as the relative of private respondents was a DGP, in Orissa. In case any judicial officer at Kaithal passed any order against respondents No. 3 and 4, 9 to 12, the respondents would call certain advocates and pressurize the judicial officer. Some judicial officers in District Court Kaithal were already working on the instructions of private respondents. Further, the respondents No. 3 and 4, 9 to 12 were involved in a case of POSCO Act and the victim in the said case was murdered under suspicious circumstances. Even, some proofs from the case file were destroyed in collusion with Mr. J.B. Goel, ADA, also. Still further, in many POSCO matters, the FIRs were not registered and the respondents were destroying the evidence. He further moved complaints against private respondents, but no action was taken on his complaint. Still further, the petitioner is a whistle blower and had raised many issues against the corruption and suo moto action may be taken as per the circums
