IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 20760 of 2011 Bhajan Singh etc. .....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab etc. ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Jagjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. Service is complete. No one appears for the respondent. The petitioner says that the respondent had compromised the case with the petitioner and in this regard he refers to the statement of the complainant, which was recorded by the Special Judicial Magistrate, Kapurthala. Even if that be the position, it would be appropriate to wait for the respondent. Unless the respondent comes and either confirm or deny the compromise it will not be appropriate to rely on this compromise. The statement may have been made before the Magistrate but this Court has to satisfy itself about the voluntary nature of the compromise or the statement so made etc. before relying upon the same. Otherwise, I am not inclined to interfere by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Unless the complainant come present to confirm or deny the compromise. The petitioner may plead his case before the trial Court on the basis of the statement of the complainant as referred and relied by the petitioners. Dismissed.
