IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 12863 of 2011 Yash Pal and others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. R.K. Singla, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab for the State. Mr. S.P.S. Sidhu, Advocate for respondents No. 2 and 3. RANJIT SINGH J. No proceedings other than the appeal are pending against the petitioner. The appeal of the petitioner is still pending before the appellate Court. The petitioner has approached this Court with the grievance that the appellate Court is not having power to permit compounding of the offences. It will be appropriate for the petitioner to first plead whatever his pleas are before the appellate Court. The appellate Court may pass any appropriate order. This Court can take into consideration any compromise or all such matters if any such matter is brought in any legal proceedings before this Court. At this stage, no case for interference is made out. Counsel for the respondent seriously disputes the existence of compromise. This will be an added reason for this Court not to interfere, at this stage. Dismissed. November 21, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
