IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-28568 of 2010 Date of decision : 10.11.2010 Davinder Singh …. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and Others ….. Respondents Present : Mr. Naresh Jain, Advocate for the petitioner. *** S.S. SARON, J. Heard counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.378 dated 30.11.2007 (Annexure P1) registered at Police Station Division No.4, Jalandhar for the offences under Sections 406, 420 and 120-B IPC. The quashing of FIR is sought on the ground that the matter has been compromised with the complainant Ashok Kumar Sareen (respondent No.2) who has deposed an affidavit dated 13.9.2010 (Annexure P2) regarding the compromise entered into by him with the petitioner. After giving my thoughtful consideration to the matter, it may be noticed that the offences under Sections 406 and 420 IPC are compoundable with the permission of the Court with the owner of the property in respect of which the breach of trust has been committed and with the person cheated respectively in terms of Section 320(2) CrPC. Therefore, in the facts and circumstances, the petitioner may avail his necessary remedy before the concerned Court itself in the first instance. Crl. Misc. No. M-28568 of 2010 [2] Accordingly, the Crl. Misc. Petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to avail his remedy seeking compounding of the offences in the first instance. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE November 10, 2010 amit
