CRM No.M 18222 of 2010 # 1# IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No.M 18222 of 2010 Date of Decision:-30.07.2010 Anchal & Anr. ......Petitioners. Versus State of Haryana & Anr. ......Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH. Present:- Mr. Sachin Mittal, Advocate for the Petitioners. Mr. M.S. Sindhu, Additional Advocate General Haryana. Mr. Gurmeet Singh, Advocate for Respondent no.2-complainant. *** JASWANT SINGH, J.(ORAL) Prayer is under Section 482 Cr.PC for quashing of FIR No.77 dated 03.03.2008 under Section 356 of Indian Penal Code registered with Police Station City Jagadhri as well as all the subsequent and consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 27.7.2009(P-2) and affidavit dated CRM No.M 18222 of 2010 # 2# 27.7.2009 of complainant(P-3). The allegations against the petitioners are that at around 8.00 PM on 3.3.2008 in a market place they have indulged in a incident of purse snatching of the complainant. In the written statement filed by Suresh Chand, DSP Jagadhari it has been stated that the motor cycle bearing no.HR02P 9631 was recovered from the spot(as the petitioners-accused had run away leaving behind the motor cycle at the spot due to the passage being closed). During investigation it was found that the motor cycle belonged to petitioner no.1-Anchal. Both the petitioners-accused had been produced by the father of the petitioner no.1 on 5-3-2008 and on their disclosure statement the snatched purse along with money of the complainant was recovered. Learned State counsel on instructions from ASI Kanwar Pal Singh submits that the one prosecution witness has been examined and the remaining prosecution witnesses including the complainant have now been summoned for 31.8.2010. We cannot ignore the fact that such like incidents of chain snatching and purse snatching of hapless girls and old ladies by young motor cyclists are increasing everyday. Such like offenders have to be strictly dealt with and deserve no leniency much less any indulgence by the courts. Keeping in view the fact that the trial is at the advance stage of recording of prosecution evidence and nature of the alleged CRM No.M 18222 of 2010 # 3# offence, I find no ground to entertain this petition for quashing of FIR in exercise of jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.PC. Dismissed. ( JASWANT SINGH ) JUDGE 30th July, 2010 Vinay
