Criminal Misc.-M No.24166 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.24166 of 2011. Date of Decision: 13.09.2011 Surjit Singh and another ......Petitioners Versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Vivek K Thakur, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL J. While issuing notice of motion on 10.08.2011, the following contentions of learned counsel for the petitioners were noticed: " Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that on 07.07.2011, the investigating officer stated before the court below that 2 ½ tolas of gold ornaments are to be recovered from the petitioners. In the order dated 12.07.2011, it is noted that as per the compromise, the petitioners failed to pay ` 15,00,000/-. The gold articles have been recovered from the accused and have been given to their common man as per the compromise and no recovery is to be effected from the accused. Interim bail was granted to the petitioners. However, while rejecting the petition finally on 26.07.2011, the learned court below noticed that dowry articles are yet to be recovered which is factually incorrect as all the dowry articles and jewellery are lying with Surinder Singh Sarpanch of Village Koliawal Nawa, Police Station Fattu Dhinga, Tehsil and District Kapurthala. Still as sated by the investigating officer on 7.7.2011, the petitioners are ready to give 2 ½ tolas of gold to the complainant." Criminal Misc.-M No.24166 of 2011 -2- Learned counsel for the petitioners submited that thereafter, the matter in dispute between the parties has been compromised and even a petition for quashing of the FIR on the basis thereof has been filed. Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Darshan Singh, submitted that the compromise deed has been produced before the Investigating Officer and the petitioners had joined investigation. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the aforesaid facts, in my opinion, the petitioners are not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. Interim bail granted to the petitioners on 10.08.2011 is made absolute. The petition stands disposed of. (RAJESH BINDAL) 13.09.2011 JUDGE Jyoti 1
