IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 16102 of 2011 Date of decision: 12.12.2011 Ankush Chadha and others ...Petitioners Versus State of U.T., Chandigarh and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Harpreet Singh Gharuana, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate for respondent No. 1. Mr. Ravi Gakhar, Advocate for respondent No. 2. RANJIT SINGH J. This order will dispose of two Criminal Misc. Nos. M- 16101 and 16102 of 2011. The petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 38 dated 28.01.2011 registered under Sections 326, 324, 323, 506 and 427 IPC at Police Station Sector 39, Chandigarh. In the FIR, it is alleged that the complainant had gone to his home to fetch some articles when one person named Ankush Chadha while under influence of liquor came on a bike and hit from the front side. The complainant asked him as to why he has damaged his bike and on this provocation he started abusing. The complainant requested him to get his bike repaired or to reimburse the costs for which he agreed and left the place. Later on, he rang the complainant on his mobile phone and called him to Sector 40. When the complainant reached there, Ankush Chadha, was already standing there alongwith four Crl. Misc. No. M- 16102 of 2011 -2- persons. Without any provocation, they attacked the complainant with knife and injured his arm by stabbing four times. Thereafter, they ran from the place. On this, the FIR is registered. On the other hand, the petitioner, Ankush Chadha has recorded the FIR against the complainant. Now the relatives of the parties have intervened and they have reached a compromise. This is a case where the students have fought outside the school premises. Finding this behaviour to be unacceptable, the parents of the petitioners were asked to furnish an undertaking before this Court that they will ensure that their wards will behave in future and would not violate law. It has been made clear to the petitioners that, in case, they do not behave in future and indulge in such activities, then the present case may be revived against them. Since the petitioners are young students and have violated the law, at this young age, they may need to be handled with care. Any harsh treatment, at this stage, may lead to their further getting back in life, which will ultimately be proved harmful to the society as such. The petitioners being young ought to be reformed and their parents should also realize their responsibility in this regard. They have also filed an affidavits, which are handed over in the Court to confirm that they will ensure that their wards will behave in future and would not indulge in such activities. Taking the totality of facts and circumstances in view, the case is made out for quashing the FIR as no useful purpose would be served in allowing this prosecution to continue. FIR No. 38 dated 28.01.2011 registered under Sections 326, 324, 323, 506 and 427 Crl. Misc. No. M- 16102 of 2011 -3- IPC at Police Station Sector 39, Chandigarh and FIR No. 66 dated 11.02.2011 registered under Sections 324, 506 and 34 IPC at Police Station Sector 39, Chandigarh and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
