Criminal Misc. No. M-32165 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-32165 of 2008 Date of decision: May 21, 2009 Mohinder Singh & another -Petitioners Versus Surinder Kaur -Respondent Coram Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. Arvind Kashyap, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Gurcharan Dass, Advocate, for the respondent. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) Criminal Misc. No. 25587 of 2009 is allowed. Reply on behalf of the respondent is taken on record. Criminal Misc. No. M-32165 of 2008 Counsel for the respondent submits that, in fact, there is no compromise between the parties and the dispute still persists. Notice of motion in this case was issued only on the contention of counsel for the petitioner that the dispute had been settled by way of a compromise. Quashing was sought on this ground alone. Counsel for the petitioner submits that compromise, Annexure P-4 was duly signed by the respondent, which shows that the terms of the compromise were agreed upon by the respondent as well. According to him, the respondent is now backing out from the compromise, which is not permissible. Criminal Misc. No. M-32165 of 2008 2 I do not find any force in the contention raised by counsel for the petitioner. Respondent cannot be compelled to adhere to the compromise by this Court in exercise of inherent jurisdiction. The petitioner may rely upon the compromise, Annexure P4 before the trial Court at an appropriate stage. The instant petition is hereby dismissed. [Rajan Gupta] Judge May 21, 2009. 'ask'
