.....RESPONDENTS CORAM:
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP MOUDGIL Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Rajiv Verma, Senior DAG Punjab None for respondent No.2.
SANDEEP MOUDGIL, J (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the FIR No. 211 dated 06/09/2016 under Sections 447/427/506 IPC registered at Police Station Chheharta Amritsar City (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise dated 14/08/2024 (Annexure P-2) as the matter has been amicably settled between both the parties. Reply filed by way of an affidavit of Shivdarshan Singh, PPS, Assistant Commissioner of Police, West, Amritsar, is taken on record. Perusal of the reply shows that the compromise alleged to have been effected between the parties is not in the knowledge of the Investigating Officer. Para 10 of reply read as under:-
“That so far as the compromise alleged to be effected between the petitioner Sandeep Singh and complainant-respondent No. 2-Amarjit MEENU 2025.05.08 19:19 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
CRM-M-42431-2024 -2- Singh is concerned, it is submitted that the alleged compromise is not in knowledge of the Investigating Agency and it has not been informed to the Investigating Agency by anyone.” Today neither the counsel for the petitioner is present nor the complainant has turned up to support the version of the petitioner, therefore, this Court is duly convincted that the petitioner does not want to pursue with the present petition. Hence the same stands dismissed for want of prosecution.
