IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-9120 of 2008 Date of decision: September 21, 2010. Sunita @ Anju & Ors. ...Petitioner(s) v. Ram Singh ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: None for the petitioner(s). Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for quashing the complaint dated 14.1.2008 (Annexure P-1) filed by the respondent in which the petitioners have been summoned by way of bailable warrants, under Section 107/150 Cr.P.C. for 15.4.2008. It is stated that petitioner no.1 – Sunita was married with Sher Singh and that the instant complaint has been filed by elder brother of the said Sher Singh as a counter-blast to the proceedings initiated by the aggrieved wife under Section 498-A IPC and also for lodging FIR No.191 dated 9.1.2008, under Section 323, 341/34 IPC. It is pleaded that matrimonial dispute, during the pendency of the petition, has been amicably resolved and, therefore, there is no necessity for the Executive Magistrate to bind the petitioners for security proceedings under Section 107/150 Cr.P.C. Furthermore, the security proceedings were initiated in April 2008. Thereafter, more than two years have already lapsed. It is well settled that if the security proceedings do not conclude within six months, they lapse automatically. Hence, the present petition is accepted and the security proceedings initiated against the petitioners are quashed. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] September 21, 2010. Judge kadyan
