IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc. No.32958 -M of 2010 DATE OF DECISION : AUGUST 16, 2011 MAJOR SINGH & ORS. ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Deep Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. KD Sachdeva, Addl.AG, Punjab. Mr. GS Brar, Advocate, for respondents 2 to 4. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) 1 This petition has been filed under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, praying for quashing of FIR No.11 dated 6.2.2010 under Sections 307, 326, 324, 323, 452, 506, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Baretta, District Mansa (Annexure P-1), on the basis of compromise dated 27.10.2010 (Annexure P-2). 2 Injury on account of which Section 307, Indian Penal Code, has been invoked, has been attributed to Major Singh (petitioner No.1), who allegedly was armed with a Gandassa and gave as many as three injuries on the person of the complainant. 3 Learned counsel for the petitioners states that petitioner No.1-Major Singh has died. This fact has been Criminal Misc. No.32958 -M of 2010 2 endorsed by learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from HC Gurparnam Dass. 4 The petition, under the circumstances, survives only on behalf of petitioners No.2 to 5. 5 The Court has been informed that petitioner No.3- Manjit Singh committed the murder of his father-Major Singh. 6 Considering the nature of events, in my considered opinion, it would not be in public interest to quash the FIR, even though the parties claim to have entered into a compromise. The petitioners appear to be of criminal nature and it cannot be ruled out that the private respondents are under threat. 7 The petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
