Club all cases of Sofat, says HC
Panchkula, June 10 Dr Sofat was booked by the police after he lodged a complaint in July last year stating that he was robbed of Rs 33 lakh by Ramesh Pashan and his sons belonging to Ludhiana at Morni Hills. Dr Sofat’s driver suffered two bullet injuries in the incident. Sofat alleged that Ramesh Pashan and his two sons, Vinayak and
Abhinav, with the help of their driver Ranjit and two other unidentified persons attacked him and injured his driver. He also alleged that the accused took away Rs 33 lakh. Following this, Pashan family produced evidence before the Panchkula police claiming their innocence in the case. Later during investigations, the police found out that
Sofat, who was involved in a dispute over a piece of land since 2005 with
Pashans, allegedly staged the dacoity to frame them in a criminal case. While Sofat has been absconding, different courts have dismissed his anticipatory bail
application. Sofat had filed many writ petitions against Pashans, though in many cases he was booked by the police under Section 182 of the
IPC. The directions from the high court to club all such cases were issued last month when Sofat moved an application before the court alleging that the Panchkula police instead of taking an action against the Pashans made an accused out of him, though he was complainant in the incident. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur of the Punjab and Haryana High Court while issuing directions said, “A number of cases have been filed by the petitioner. Three are pending before this court for today itself. In order to avoid passing of any contradicting orders and also to avoid any injustice to the petitioner, the registry is directed to put up all cases filed by the present petitioner together before one Bench after obtaining necessary orders from the Chief Justice in this regard.”

Irregularities
in solemnisation of marriages Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 10 Justice Ranjit Singh, holding court during the summer vacations, also directed that it should be ascertained whether the “institution” was authorised to perform such ceremonies. The directions came on two separate petitions filed by runaway couples. As the petitions for protection were placed before the Bench, Justice Ranjit Singh raised doubts over the authenticity of the marriages. Justice Ranjit Singh was of the apparent view that such cases frequently cropping up before the Bench. Only recently, a similar situation had arisen before the court. After expressing doubts about the authenticity of marriage ceremonies earlier conducted, another Bench had asked a temple “purohit” to be present in the court. The UT Senior Superintendent of Police was also asked to look into the matter. The directions had come during the hearing of four separate petitions for protection placed before Justice Hemant Gupta, who too was holding the court during the vacations. The court was of the view that the matter appeared to be doubtful, and directed the holding of the probe. Acting on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the Chandigarh police had earlier submitted an inquiry report against a Sector 22-based mission. The report had underscored the active collusion of some advocates with the institution in performing illegal marriages for runaway couples on payment of large sums of money. The report, submitted to the High Court, had stated that the “mission has become a commercial enterprise in connivance with advocates. The inquiries have revealed that the marriages, instead of being solemnised in a temple or a religious place, are being performed in a room of the mission... “It has become an easily approachable destination for runaway couples when they find no other alternative apart from paying a considerable amount of money to the mission.” The report was submitted by Assistant Superintendent of Police Madhur Verma.
