IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 11572 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 4.10.2011 Rajbir Singh .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Amandeep Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI-Tilak Raj, submitted that six out of total eight prosecution witnesses have already been examined in the court below and only two formal witnesses remain to be examined. Considering the stage of trial, in a case where the FIR was registered on 20.5.2009, I do not find it appropriate to quash the FIR at this stage on the basis of compromise. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed. However, this order will not debar the petitioner to take up the issues raised in the present petition before the court below at an appropriate stage during trial. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 4.10.2011 mk
