Crl. Misc. No. M-26206 of 2011 (O & M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-26206 of 2011 (O & M) DATE OF DECISION: August 30, 2011 Harpreet Singh .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab and others ........ RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. Harkanwar Jeet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for quashing of FIR No. 52 dated 23.03.2001 under Sections 279/427/304-A IPC, P.S. Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana, Annexure P-1 and judgment of conviction and sentence dated 05.03.2009 Annexure P-2. Because FIR has merged in the judgment of conviction and order of sentence, the petitioner has filed an appeal against conviction. During pendency of appeal, an application was filed in view of subsequent development of compromise effected between the private respondents and the petitioner. The application was made on 03.08.2010, as has been mentioned in para no. 6 of the petition. Considering the fact that an application for similar relief has already been made before the first Appellate Court, no ground for quashing of FIR and judgment of conviction on the basis of compromise is made out. The petition is accordingly dismissed. Because application dated 03.08.2010 is pending adjudication Crl. Misc. No. M-26206 of 2011 (O & M) 2 before Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, that is dealing with the first appeal filed on behalf of the petitioner, the said Court is directed to take a decision thereupon within a period of 3 months of receipt of certified copy of the order. 30.08.2011 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
