- (1.) The instant petition has been filed with a prayer that investigation in case registered vide FIR No.439 dated 7.6.2011 under Sections 302/201/323/34 IPC at Police Station Civil Lines, Karnal be handed over to Central Bureau of Investigation or to some any other independent investigating agency.
(2.) The FIR discloses the unnatural and violent death of Karam Singh, father of the petitioner, who was an ex-sarpanch of the village. As per the averments made in the petition, it has been stated that Sandeep son of Chamel Singh, who is nephew of said Karam Singh had applied for the post of Clerk to the Haryana Staff Selection Commission and his interview was scheduled for 24.7.2010. Both of them met Sanjay, stated to be a relative of Sh. Om Parkash Jain, holding a ministerial assignment, and requested for his help. Sanjay directed Karam Singh to meet the Minister at Panipat where Atul Jain met them and asked them to come on the following day with necessary papers. It is alleged that a sum of Rs.5 lacs was demanded by Sh. Om Parkash Jain and the amount was directed to be paid to one Rajender Sharma at his house in Panipat. Karam Singh is said to have paid a sum of Rs.4.5 lacs to Rajender Sharma at Panipat and in lieu thereof a job was assured to Sandeep.
(3.) The petitioner himself had applied for the post of Conductor and a sum of Rs.6.5 lacs was demanded from him which was later on scaled down to Rs.6 lacs. In a similar fashion a sum of Rs. 3 lacs was paid for procuring the job of Conductor to the petitioner, but none of these two transactions materialised favourably and thus the father of the petitioner demanded a sum of Rs.7.5 lacs to be returned to him. Incidentally, another relative of the petitioner, namely Sunil had also applied for his recruitment in Haryana Police and also cleared the physical efficiency test and had to appear for interview before the recruitment board. One Sh. Jile Ram Sharma, respondent No.5, who was holding the post of Chief Parliamentary Secretary in the Government of Haryana, demanded a sum of Rs. 5 lacs for helping Sunil in the recruitment and he said that a sum of Rs.4, 95,000/- was paid to said Sh.Jile Ram Sharma but even Sunil could not get the employment. The amount was demanded back but instead of the entire amount being refunded Sh. Jile Ram Sharma said a sum of Rs.4 lacs only would be returned. Karam Singh, however, insisted on the return of entire amount.;
