In pursuance of order dated March 11, 2008, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ludhiana, has submitted the following report: “...It has been reported that Sajjan Singh has already expired. Further statement of Thakur Singh, Sarpanch of village Maksudra has also been recorded and even he has testified regarding the death of aforesaid Sajjan Singh. The said statement and report received from the Police Station are sufficient to prove that Sajjan Singh has already expired. So far as compromise between the parties is concerned, complainant Tara Singh has admitted that matter has been amicably settled with the intervention of the Panchayat. He has stated that he had put his signatures on the compromise deed produced before the Hon'ble High Court with his free consent. Statement of Thakur Singh, Sarpanch has also been recorded in this regard. Therefore, it is made out that the complainant Tara Singh has entered into a compromise with the accused party with his free consent and compromise deed was executed between the parties. However, I deem it proper to mention here that one Bhajan Singh son of Kartar Singh has also allegedly received injuries in Criminal Revision No. 529 of 1996 3 the occurrence. Said Bhajan Singh has already expired. However, none of his legal representative is party to the compromise deed. Complainant Tara Singh and Thakur Singh, Sarpanch, have stated that legal heirs of Bhajan Singh are settled in Canada”. Mr. Daldeep Singh, Advocate, appearing for the petitioners has stated that the petitioners have undergone about one month of their actual sentence. In view of the report of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ludhiana, petition qua Sajjan Singh shall abate. In view of the amicable settlement arrived between the parties and in order to promote everlasting peace, harmony and cordial relations, their sentence is reduced to already undergone. Revision petition is disposed off. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge April 11, 2008 “DK”
