IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. Misc. No. M – 9310 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:- 29.7.2010 Kiran Bala & Ors. ... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ... Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. Rajpal Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Raghbir Chaudhary, Sr. DAG, Punjab. Gurdev Singh, J (oral) Heard. The petitioners – Kiran Bala, Palwinder Kumar, Rajinder Kumar and Jangir Singh, have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for the quashing of FIR No. 32 dated 10.7.2008, registered under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC, in Police Station Balianwali, District Bathinda. This FIR was got registered on the application of Parkash Devi, who has not been impleaded as party. It is well settled that no FIR can be quashed without giving an opportunity to the complainant of being heard. Therefore the petition is liable to be dismissed only on that ground. I order accordingly. However, the dismissal of this petition will not prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to file a fresh petition with the same prayer after impleading the complainant as a party.
