Crl. Misc. No.M-20546 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-20546 of 2010 Date of Decision: July 20, 2010 Damanpreet Singh …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. Jasbir Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner is one of the accused persons who have been involved in a case of assault as member of unlawful assembly. He seeks the quashing of FIR qua him on the basis of the affidavit of complainant- Bikramjit, respondent No.2. As per the FIR said Bikramjit is a complainant. As per his subsequent affidavit allegedly submitted before the DSP, he has got no Crl. Misc. No.M-20546 of 2010 [2] personal grudge against the petitioner and that his name has been mentioned as the complainant was perturbed. No doubt, the FIR can be permitted to be quashed on the basis of compromise as per the Full Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052 but the partial quashing of FIR in routine will not be in the interest of justice and will be contrary to the basic rules of administration of criminal justice. It has been informed by counsel for the petitioner that since the FIR is of March 17, 2010, challan has also not been presented. It appears that the investigation is still not complete. It will be open to complainant- respondent No.2 to make any supplementary statement to the investigating officer. As per the provisions of Section 163 (2) Cr.P.C., any statement made voluntarily during investigation has to be recorded by the investigating officer. In case any such statement is made by the complainant or any other witness, the same would be taken into consideration at the time of presentation of challan. It will be open to the investigating agency not to challan the petitioner on the basis of any supplementary statement of the complainant and other PWs. With the above observation, this petition is dismissed as not maintainable. July 20, 2010 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
