IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-4254 of 2010 Date of Decision: March 15, 2010 Amit Kumar & Others .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Haryana & Another .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Gaurav Sethi, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Dhir, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana, for respondent No.1. Mr. Anuj Kohli, Advocate, for respondent No.2. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.338 dated 17.10.2004 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 279, 336, 294, 506 IPC registered with Police Station, Ambala and all consequent proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioners has contended that an incident took place. Respondent No.2 lodged an FIR. Subsequently, the Crl. Misc. No. M-4254 of 2010 [2] petitioners felt sorry for their acts and on the intervention of respectable, respondent No.2 has condoned the acts of the petitioners. Smt. Rita Sharma, (respondent No.2- complainant) is present in Court and states that in view of intervention of respectable of the area and considering the fact that career of the petitioners would be at stake, she has condoned the acts of the petitioners. I have considered the issue. Offences were directed at respondent No.2, Rita Sharma. Respondent No.2, having condoned the acts of the petitioners, no useful purpose would be served by continuance of proceedings as the offence is related to her personally. However, I find that time of the prosecuting agency and the Court has been wasted. FIR was lodged in October 2004. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.338 dated 17.10.2004 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 279, 336, 294, 506 IPC registered with Police Station, Ambala and consequent proceedings are hereby quashed, however, subject to the condition that the petitioners shall deposit a sum of Rs.20,000/- with the Haryana State Legal Services Authority, Crl. Misc. No. M-4254 of 2010 [3] Chandigarh within a period of two weeks from today. It is made clear that operation of the order of quashing the FIR and consequent proceedings would become operative only on the deposit of the amount stipulated above within a period of 2 weeks from today with Haryana State Legal Services Authority, Chandigarh. (AJAI LAMBA) March 15, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
