Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and another .. Respondents * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.Vikrant Oberoi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Arshvinder Singh, DAG, Punjab. Mr.G.S.Sidhu, Advocate, for respondent No.2. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.123 dated 28.03.2008, under Section 306 IPC, registered at Police Station, Sadar, District Patiala, on the basis of compromise. The said FIR was registered at the instance of respondent No.2, Sarup Kaur, alleging that her son Karamjit Singh was made to sign papers under pressure by the petitioner and a civil suit had been filed against him. The deceased was under apprehension that he might lose the land and being harassed by the petitioner he had committed suicide by . . . 1 Crl.Misc.No.M-3988 of 2010 (O&M) hanging from the ceiling fan by putting a cloth around his neck. Respondent No.2 Sarup Kaur is present in the Court and stated that she does not want to pursue the criminal case against the petitioner as the petitioner has also under compromise given his right in agreement of sale. The petitioner, present in the Court, also informs that he has given up all his rights in the alleged agreement of sale. Civil proceedings have already been withdrawn. In view of the matter having been compromised, I am of the considered opinion that no useful purpose will be served by permitting the continuance of criminal proceedings. Taking into consideration the judgment in case Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.), Page-1052, the petition is allowed. FIR No.123 dated 28.03.2008, under Section 306 IPC, registered at Police Station, Sadar, District Patiala, and all the criminal proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE April 23, 2010. rka . . . 2
