IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 31947 of 2010 Date of decision:8.7.2011 Harjit Singh petitioner vs State of Punjab etc respondent Present:- Mr. RK Singla, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI Quashing of FIR u/s 304 B IPC and all the proceedings emanating therefrom has been sought on the basis of matter having been compromised with the complainant. Learned counsel relies upon compromise (Annexure P-14) and affidavit (Annexure P-15). I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. It has been informed that complainant Balwinder Singh has also been examined as a witnesses by the prosecution. The complainant having already been examined in a case u/s 304 B IPC, I do not deem it appropriate to quash the proceedings on the basis of the alleged compromise. However, it is observed that in case the petitioner is able to establish the compromise Annexure P-14 and the affidavit Annexure P-15 in his defence or otherwise before the trial court and is able to impeach the credibility of the complainant, it will be open to the trial court to grant the benefit of doubt to the petitioner. With the above said liberty to the petitioner, this petition is disposed of as not maintainable at this stage. July 8 , 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
