Karamjeet Kaur and another have brought this petition under the provisions of section 482 Cr.P.C. for issuance of directions to respondent Nos. 1 to 7 to register a case regarding commission of various cognizable offences under the Indian Penal Code against respondent Nos. 8 to 11 which has not been done inspite of making representations by her on 10.6.2011 (Annexure P1) and 18.7.2012 (Annexure P3). Karamjeet Kaur has made representations to Senior Superintendent of Police, Sangrur as well as Station House Officer, Police Station, Murthal for registration of the case. The facts, she has narrated in these representations, are as under:- On 11.4.2011, Maghar Singh, husband of petitioner No.1 had gone to the fields of Rana Singh son of Lila Singh where he was working. On that day, Raju Singh, respondent no. 10 came to her village and told her husband that he would be getting higher wages in Haryana. He also told Maghar Singh that they had been working on a Combine Harvester and he induced Maghar Singh to leave his job. He along with Titu Singh and one Krishan Singh, respondents no. 8 and 9 respectively, left for Hasanpur, a village within the jurisdiction of Police Station Murthal, District Sonepat, Haryana and started work on the Combine Harvester of Sarde Singh, respondent no. 11. Her husband, Maghar Singh had mobile phones bearing numbers 959237618 and 9853875922 with him. The complainant tried to contact her husband on those phone numbers several times but was unable to contact him. Petitioner No.1 and her family members, consequently, became worried and they approached Jaggi Singh, brother of Titu Singh to know about the whereabouts of Maghar Singh. Jaggi Singh told her that Maghar Singh had returned back 2-3 days ago. The complainant along with all her family members started making search for Maghar Singh but he could not be found. She made a complaint to Police Station Dirba in this regard under whose jurisdiction the village of the complainant fell. They told her that her complaint would be entertained by Police Station, Murthal, District Sonepat. The complainant and other members of her family came to Sarde Singh, respondent No.11, a resident of village Hasanpur. Sarde Singh told them to give in writing in the Panchayat that Maghar Singh was not traceable/not seen after reaching his village Dhandoli Kalan, Tehsil Sunam, District Sangrur (Punjab). Suspecting that Maghar Singh has been abducted by the aforesaid persons and that they are not intentionally telling her about him, she wanted action.
