Date of Decision: 04.03.2014
Ajit Singh and another ....Petitioner(s)
versus
State of Punjab and another ....Respondent(s)
***
CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI *** Present: Mr. Sarbjit Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners.
Mr. R.P.S. Sidhu, AAG, Punjab.
*** M.M.S. BEDI, J (Oral) The petitioners seek quashing of FIR on the basis of compromise. The FIR has been registered at the instance of respondent No.2. The compromise seems to have been effected between two out of eight accused with the complainant. The partial quashing of FIR on the basis of compromise does not appear to be appropriate in the present case. It will be open to the petitioners to seek any relief i.e. of acquittal on the ground of benefit of doubt or on the basis of compromise in case the matter has been compromised.
In view of the peculiar circumstances of the case, it is ordered that in case an application is moved by the petitioners for personal exemption during trial, the trial Court shall allow the same subject to any conditions to be imposed. The petitioners may also avail the benefit of compromise at any subsequent stage of the trial.
Petition stands disposed of accordingly.
