Criminal Misc. No. M-14104 of 2011 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Criminal Misc. No. M-14104 of 2011 Date of Decision: 9.5.2011 Chander Shekhar …Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and Another …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Rajiv Kumar Trikha, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) In the present petition, a prayer has been made that case FIR No. 174 dated 25.11.2010, registered at Police Station Garhshankar, under Sections 304-A, 279, 337 and 338 IPC be quashed as compromise has been arrived at between the petitioner and legal heirs of deceased Chanan Kaur. This Court cannot take compromise into consideration for quashing of the impugned FIR as the aggrieved person is none else but deceased. In Puttaswamy v. State of Karnataka and Another (2009) 1 Supreme Court Cases 711, it was held that for the offence under Section 304-A IPC, compromise cannot be taken into consideration for dropping the proceedings. However, the compromise can always be taken into consideration while considering the sentence. Criminal Misc. No. M-14104 of 2011 2 I have no doubt that in case reliance is placed upon Puttaswamy's case, the trial Court, while considering the quantum of sentence, shall act sympathetically and liberally as per the mandate of law laid down in the above said case. With the observations made above, the present petition is disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge May 9, 2011 “DK”
