Driver of applicant has confessed that he was driving the vehicle at the time of incident in spite of that Investigating Officer took thumb impression of applicant over a plane paper and wrote confessional statement of applicant in his writing and implicated applicant in present case. There are also some compoundable sections imposed against the applicant and as such entire proceeding is liable to be quashed and set aside. 4.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the matter, applicant is directed to appear before learned court concerned and in case so advised, he may prefer discharge application in respect of his implication in sections which are compoundable in nature. However, it is made clear that outcome of the discharge application will not preclude the liberty in favour of the applicant to prefer same prayer as sought through instant application by way of filing similar application thereafter. 6.
