IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. Misc. No. M-986 of 2009 Date of Decision:- 24.3.2009 Kartik Malhotra & Anr. .... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & Anr. .... Respondent. Present:- Mr. Pardeep Rajput, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P.S.Sidhu, Addl. A.G., Punjab. Mr. Sachin Sharma, Advocte, for the complainant. M.M.S.BEDI. (J) (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 65, dated 17.6.2008, under Section 420 IPC registered at Police Station Kathunangal, Amritsar, has been prayed for, on the basis of compromise. Said FIR was registered at the instance of Amardeep Singh-complainant alleging that the petitioners have introduced Vinod Naiyak and his wife Sheela Naiyak with the complainant, who had duped the complainant on the pretext that they will get him work visa in Canada for five years, on receipt of a sum of Rs.8 lac. Learned State counsel informs that investigation is still in progress. Complainant does seem to have any grievance against the petitioners. In case complainant does not have any grievance, let supplementry statement be recorded by the investigating officer to that effect and decide thereafter whether two petitioners in the present case are to be challaned or FIR is to be cancelled qua them. It does not appear prudent to partially quash the FIR especially when the investigation is still in progress. Crl. Misc. No. M-986 of 2009 -2- Petition is disposed of as pre-mature. However, it will be open to the prosecution agency to cancel the FIR qua the petitioners on any statement made by the complainant. Let necessary steps be taken within a period of 10 days, after the receipt of a copy of this order. Disposed of. March 24, 2009 (M.M.S.Bedi) tripti Judge
