JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: None for the petitioners Mr.Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of FIR No.275 dated 22.9.1994 registered under sections 419/420/467/468/471/120-B IPC at police station Sadar Ferozepur on the basis of compromise stated to have been arrived at between the parties. While issuing notice of motion, this court had directed the trial court to send a report with regard to validity or otherwise of the compromise. Pursuant to said order, report from the court of CJM, Ferozepur has been received. According to same, none appeared before the court below on behalf of the complainant to record his statement. Operative part of the report received reads thus:- “Whereas, from the side of complainant party as named above, none has come present to record their statements before this court. Since, the complainant party themselves have not come present to record their statements before the court, therefore, the statements so recorded in the court are hereby sent along with photocopy of compromise Crl.Misc.No.M-3241 of 2011 - 2 - deed as well as other related documents in original with regard to compromise, along with this report.” Learned State counsel has also pointed out that case pertains to the year 1994 and proceedings in the matter are held up. It is evident that this petition was entertained by this court only in view of a compromise claimed to have been arrived at between the parties. However, in view of report received from the trial court, no case for quashing is made out. The petition is thus, without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
