Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Barjesh K. Sharma, Advocate, for Mr.Mohd.Salim, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. I am not inclined to invoke my inherent jurisdiction to quash FIR in this case even if the complainant-lady has entered into a compromise. The offence under Section 376 IPC is a serious enough for which State would also have interest to prosecute. Such like cases have to be tried by the Court. Otherwise, sometimes interest of justice may suffer. Dismissed. October 19, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
