IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc. No.21517 -M of 2010 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION : NOVEMBER 2, 2011 HARJIT SINGH @ GHONA & ORS. ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. CL Verma, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Satish Bhanot, Addl.AG, Punjab. Mr. Amit Verma, Advocate, for respondents 2 & 3. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) 1 This petition has been filed under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, praying for quashing of FIR No.120 dated 09.09.2010 under Sections 307, 382, 341, 324, 506, 326, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Haibowal, District Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings, on the basis of compromise dated 07.07.2011 (Annexure P-2). 2 In the incident, Tarlochan Singh (respondent No.3) and minor-Gurpreet Singh son of Karnail Singh were injured. No injury has been caused to either of the injured which would indicate permanent physical disability. It is in this view of facts and circumstances of the case that even complainant-Ranjit Singh and injured Tarlochan Singh, respondents No.2 and 3, Criminal Misc. No.21517 -M of 2010 (O&M) 2 respectively, pray for quashing of the FIR, on the basis of compromise. 3 Reply on behalf of the respondent-State has been filed in Court today. Affidavits of Tarlochan Singh, Karnail Singh, who is father of injured Gurpreet Singh (minor) and Ranjit Singh have also been filed in court today. The same are taken on record. 4 The aforesaid affidavits endorse the factum of compromise. The private respondents are not ready and willing to bring evidence to court, so as to prosecute the petitioners. 5 Learned counsel for the respondent-State contends that because the disputes have been settled by way of compromise, the State would have no objection to the quashing of the FIR. 6 Considering the fact that the petitioners and private respondents are not ready and willing to prosecute the petitioners and the parties want to live in peace and harmony without pendency of this criminal case, in my considered opinion, no useful purpose would be served by continuance of proceedings. 7 The petition is, accordingly, allowed. 8 FIR No.120 dated 09.09.2010 under Sections 307, 382, 341, 324, 506, 326, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Haibowal, District Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings, are hereby quashed.
