IN TH E H IGH COURT OF UTTARAKH AND AT NAINITAL. Criminal Writ Petition No. 283 of 2008 Kishan Singh S/ o Pratap Singh, R/ o Queta Seherfatak (Masankhal) Patwari Kshetra Seherfatak, Tehsil Jaiti, District Almora. ----Petitioner. Vs. State of Uttarakhand and 2 others. ----Respondents Cor a m : H on ’ble Pr a fu lla C. Pa n t, J . H on ’ble Dh a r a m Veer , J . Da ted : 16 th Ap r il 20 0 8 : Per Coram:- Heard Sri Paresh Tripathi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Amit Bhatt, learned Addl. Govt. Advocate for the State/ respondent nos. 1 & 2. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought quashing of the First Information Report lodged by respondent no. 3, which is registered as case crime no. 1 of 2008 relating to offence punishable u/ s 326 I.P.C. with Patwari Kshetra Seherfatak, District Almora. The First Information Report suggests that with BARIYATH (heavy sharp edged weapon), the accused has chopped off the hand of the complainant. It is argued on behalf of the petitioner that the First Information Report is highly belated and the matter has already been compromised between the parties, as both are the brothers. Having considered submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and that of the learned Addl. Govt. Advocate, we are not inclined to interfere with the investigation. The writ petition is dismissed summarily with the observation that if the petitioner is arrested or surrenders before the Court concerned, while considering his bail application the factum that the parties have already entered into a compromise, may be considered by the said Court. The bail application shall be heard and disposed of expeditiously. Interim relief application no. 2034/ 08 also stands rejected. (Dh a r a m Veer , J .) (Pr a fu lla C. Pa n t, J .) NCM
