IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-35687 of 2010 (O&M) Decided on : 04-08-2011 Harinder Pal Singh ....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. S.S.Salar, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab Ms. Maninderpreet Kaur, Advocate for respondent no.2 MAHESH GROVER, J This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C praying for quashing of FIR no. 122 dated 22.6.2006 registered under Sections 420, 376, 120-B IPC at Police Station Shimlapuri, Ludhiana on the basis of compromise. Learned counsel for the petitioner as well as complainant states that the matter has been settled inter se between the parties. However, on evaluation of the contentions that have been raised before this Court, I am of the considered opinion that no offence such as under Section 376 IPC which is abhorrent to the society and promotes savagery and barbarism cannot be permitted to be compounded and in such like circumstances, the benefit of the observations of Full Bench in Kulwinder Singh versus State of Punjab reported as 2007 (3) Law Herald 2225, cannot be afforded to the parties. Hence, dismissed. August 04, 2011 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
