Criminal Misc. No. M-6700 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-6700 of 2010(O&M) Date of decision : 12.07.2010 Raghbir Singh and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab and another ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition seeking quashing of the FIR No. 55 dated 09.05.2008 registered under Sections 498-A IPC at Police Station Div. No. 2, Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise, Annexure P-2 purportedly arrived at between the parties. Learned State counsel has filed reply by way of affidavit of Bahadur Singh Sagoo, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Central), Jalandhar. He has referred to the same and submitted that during investigation it was found that petitioner was guilty of offence under Section 406/498-A IPC and challan was presented in the competent court of jurisdiction on 28.11.2008. According to him, charges were framed on 19.01.2009. He submits that the plea that compromise has been arrived at between the parties is totally false. He further submits that statements of complainant Rajinder Kaur and her father Ravail Singh were recorded. They have clearly stated that there is no compromise between the parties. Criminal Misc. No. M-6700 of 2010 (O&M) 2 The said statements are Annexures R-1 and R-2 to the affidavit filed today. No one has put in appearance on behalf of the petitioners to controvert the stand taken by the State counsel. In view of the fact that reply by way of affidavit of Assistant Commissioner of Police (Central) Jalandhar has been filed in court and statements of complainant and her father annexed thereto show that there is no element of amicable settlement of the matrimonial dispute, I am of the considered view that present petition is mis-conceived. This apart, learned State counsel submits that father of the complainant is present in court and has denied the factum of compromise. In view of above, there is no merit in the petition. Dismissed.
