IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No. 2600 of 2008 (O&M). Date of Decision : 20.9.2011. Balwant Singh & others ...... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ......Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. R.S. Cheema, Sr. Advocate with Mr. K.S. Nalwa, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. AG, Punjab. Mr. Kapil Aggarwal, Advocate, for the complainant. NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) This revision is directed against the order dated October 15th, 2008 passed by Special Judge, Sangrur (Annexure P- 1) whereby he did not accept the report for cancellation of the case bearing FIR No.59 dated May 16th, 2006 under Section 3 of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 registered in Police Station Bhawanigarh, District Sangrur because the complainant wanted to contest the same. During pendency of the petition, parties compromised the matter. Gurmit Singh-complainant has tendered his affidavit (Annexure P-7) mentioning that matter has been compromised with the petitioners, a fact which has not been refuted by the counsel for the respondent-complainant. It is worth a mention here that during investigation also, it was found by the Police that complaint filed by the complainant was false as is evident from the order of Special Judge, Sangrur (Annexure P-1). As the matter has been compromised, the petitioners have urged that FIR registered against them be quashed. Criminal Revision No. 2600 of 2008 (2) In view of above noted facts, in considered opinion of this Court, there should not be any impediment in allowing the parties to compromise the matter and accordingly FIR No.59 dated May 16th, 2006 under Section 3 of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 registered in Police Station Bhawanigarh, District Sangrur and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed. 20.9.2011.
