IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-6286 of 2008 Date of decision: September 21, 2010. Saudan Singh & Ors. ...Petitioner(s) v. Sughar Singh ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Shri Kuldip Sanwal , Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Shri Ashok Sharma, Advocate for the respondent. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking quashing of complaint No.159 dated 13.8.2007, titled as “Sughar Singh v. Saudan Singh & Ors.”, pending in the court of JMIC, Ludhiana, (Annexure P-1), summoning order dated 18.12.2007 (Annexure P-2) and the subsequent proceedings. A primary grievance has been made that the trial court has no territorial jurisdiction to try the petitioner as the offence, if any, is made out at Aligarh. This Court, on 14.5.2008, had declined the prayer to stay the proceedings. However, on 14.11.2008, personal appearance of the petitioners was exempted subject to the conditions to be imposed by the trial court. By now, the trial must have made a much headway. It is well settled legal position that once evidence has started, the trial has to culminate in conviction or acquittal. Therefore, the present petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to raise all the pleas, including the territorial jurisdiction to try the petitioners, before the trial court at an appropriate stage. However, personal appearance of the petitioners before the trial court shall remain exempted in pursuance of order dated 14.11.2008 subject to any conditions which the trial court may like to impose upon the petitioners. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] September 21, 2010. Judge kadyan
