JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR Present: Mr. Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Chandu Majra, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. Kamal Chaudhary, Advocate for the complainant. **** M ehinder S ingh S ullar, J. (Oral) At the very outset, learned State counsel has pointed out that the petitioners have already been convicted and sentenced by the trial Court and their statutory appeal is still pending in the appellate Court. Therefore, the present petition for quashing the FIR (Annexure P-1) and judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 12.01.2008 on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-5), is not maintainable, in view of the law laid down by this Court in Crl. Misc. No.M-8112 of 2010 titled as Rajinder Arora alias Raju v. State of Punjab & another decided on 08.10.2010. 2. Faced with this situation, learned counsel for the petitioners intends to withdraw the present petition. 3. In this view of the matter, the instant petition is ordered to be dismissed as withdrawn. Crl. Misc. No. M-23742 of 2010 (O&M) -2- 4. Needless to say that the petitioners would be at liberty to bring on record the compromise and the appellate Court, of course, would be well advised to take the same into consideration as mitigating circumstances and to pass an appropriate order, in this relevant connection, in accordance with law.
