(ORAL) This is a petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of FIR No. 184 dated 03.10.2009 registered against the petitioners under sections 420, 467,468, 471 & 120-B IPC at Police Station Division 6 Industrial Area, Ludhiana on the basis of a compromise stated to have been arrived at between the parties. Mr. GBS Dhillion, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of complainant-respondent No. 2 and submits that no compromise was arrived at between the parties, the complainant is present in court and has already filed his affidavit denying the factum of compromise. He further submits that affidavit, Annexure P-6 to which reference has been made in order dated February 17, 2010 was obtained under threat. Criminal Misc. No. M-33157 of 2009 2 While issuing notice of motion on February 17, 2010, this court had taken note of affidavit dated October 28, 2009, Annexure P-6 according to which the complainant did not want to proceed with the complaint. However, a categorical stand has been taken today on behalf of the complainant that there is no compromise. Affidavit dated 23.07.2010 filed by the complainant is on record wherein it is stated that compromise deed annexed with the petition was got signed from the complainant under threat. The petition was entertained only on the basis of compromise stated to have been arrived at between the parties. However, in view of stand of the complainant before this court today that compromise is no longer there, no interference is called for in inherent jurisdiction of this court. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. August 23, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
