vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.290 OF 2009 WRIT PETITION NO.290 OF 2009 WRIT PETITION NO.290 OF 2009 Aniruddh S. Singh ... Petitioner V/s. State of Maharashtra & Anr. ... Respondents Mr.Suresh Dubey for Petitioner Ms.S.D. Shinde, APP, for Respondent State None for Respondent Nos.2 and 3 CORAM: A.R. JOSHI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J. DATED: APRIL 1, 2009 APRIL 1, 2009 APRIL 1, 2009 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . Heard rival submissions for some time. It is a writ petition preferred by the applicant accused for quashing the Sessions Case lodged against him by his own mother. The allegations against the applicant accused who is the son aged 20 years are that on the night of the incident he had assaulted his own father after disarming his father by taking kitchen knife from the hand of his father and stabbed him on back and on the lateral side of his abdomen near the ribs four times causing severe bleeding injuries. FIR was lodged by the mother of the accused, the wife of the injured. Now it is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that it being a family matter, the same may be allowed to be compounded as there is no grievance of the first informant and also of the injured. Serious offence for which punishment : 2 : u/s 307 is mentioned is infact the offence against the State. Even at this stage it cannot be ascertained whether the complainant and the injured are really supporting the accused. It would be premature to quash the said complaint and to release the accused without there being any trial considering the serious allegations made by the mother. Under these circumstances, there is nothing to quash the pending criminal case. Moreso, the offence u/s 307 of the Indian Penal Code is non compoundable even with the permission of the Court. 2. Writ Petition stands rejected accordingly (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
