IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-22312 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: August 06, 2010 Vikas Batra and others …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Rajpal Singh, Advocate for the petitioners .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of FIR No.963 dated 19.12.2002 (Annexure P-1) under sections 498-A, 406 IPC registered against the petitioners at police station Central Faridabad. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there was a compromise between the parties on 12.7.2007, copy whereof is Annexure P-2 to this petition. He submits that despite having entered into a compromise, the complainant failed to adhere to the same. He, therefore, submits that compromise dated 12.7.2007 needs to be enforced by this court and on that basis FIR needs to be quashed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. I am not convinced with the arguments raised. It is not possible for this court to force the complainant to adhere to a compromise allegedly entered into between her and her husband. Admittedly, the compromise was never acted Crl.Misc.No.M-22312 of 2010 - 2 - upon and even the petition under section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, failed for this reason. The instant FIR was registered way back in 2002. According to learned counsel, most of the prosecution witnesses have been examined by now. Under the circumstances, I do not find any ground for quashing the FIR. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. August 06, 2010 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE 2
