IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-34126 of 2008 Date of decision : 13.10.2009 Mohan Lal and others ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Jonny Goyal, Advocate for Mr. Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG Punjab. Mr. Raj Kumar Garg, Advocate for the respondent No. 3. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of the FIR No. 59 dated 20.03.2008 under Sections 406, 420, 506 & 120-B IPC at Police Station Civil Lines, Patiala (Annexure P-6) and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise. Notice of motion was issued in this case only in view of the statement made by counsel for the petitioners that the matter has been compromised between the parties. Learned counsel for respondent No. 3, who is a complainant has put in appearance and submits that compromise, Annexure P-7 which was entered into between the parties was never acted upon by the petitioners. He, therefore, submits that the present petition for quashing is not maintainable. Learned counsel for the State submits that matter is still under investigation and the investigating agency is not aware of any compromise Crl. Misc No. M-34126 of 2008 -2- arrived at between the parties. I have heard counsel for the parties. In view of the fact that matter has not been compromised between the parties and notice of motion was issued only in view of the alleged compromise arrived at between the parties and the situation that factum of compromise has been refuted by counsel for respondent No. 3, there is no ground to interfere in inherent jurisdiction of this court. The petition is thus dismissed being devoid of merit. 13.10.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
