Crl. Misc. No. M-31357 of 2009 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-31357 of 2009 (O&M) Decided on : 21-09-2011 Parvinder Singh and another ....Petitioners VERSUS State of Punjab and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. P.S.Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab Mr.Onkar Singh, Advocate for respondent no.2. MAHESH GROVER, J During the course of proceedings learned counsel for the respondent no.2 stated that the complainant was an ex-serviceman who was insulted by the petitioners at the toll tax barrier. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners states that it is only during the course of their duty that the petitioners had over stepped their limits and in that process had caused inconvenience to respondent no.2. They have stated that they are willing to apologize to respondent no.2 for the same and have also stated that in future they will not behave rudely with any member of the public. Petitioner no.1 is present in Court. He has unequivocally tendered his apology. Having regard to the aforesaid and the fact that the allegations in the complaint have surfaced from some mis-apprehension caused on Crl. Misc. No. M-31357 of 2009 (O&M) 2 account of insistence on collecting the toll as against reluctance of the complainant-respondent no.2 to pay the same on account of a bona fide impression that the ex-servicemen were exempted from such toll and also noticing the fact that it is in the heat of the moment and on account of the friction caused because of the insistence and reluctance of the petitioners and complainant respectively and further noticing the fact that there is no criminality in the true sense of the words attracted to the allegations, I deem it appropriate to accept the prayer of the petitioners, moreso when the respondent no.2 has no objection to it. Hence, the instant petition is allowed and as a consequence thereof criminal complaint no. 34 dated 17.3.2008 titled as 'Major Surinder Singh Kondal Vs. Parvinder Singh and another' pending in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Gurdaspur and all consequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed, primarily on the ground that the petitioners and complainant have resolved their issues.
