IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 250 CRM-M-55696-2022 (O&M) Date of decision: 11.09.2025 Nitish Ghai ...Petitioner(s) VERSUS State of Punjab and another ...Respondent(s) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD S. BHARDWAJ Present :- Ms. Simrandeep Kaur, Advocate for Mr. Gagandeep Singh Virk, Advocate for the petitioner(s). Mr. I.P.S. Sabharwal, DAG Punjab. Mr. Vikas Prakash, Advocate for respondent No.2. ***** VINOD S. BHARDWAJ, J. (Oral) The instant petition has been filed for quashing of FIR No.62 dated 28.03.2018 under Sections 420, 406 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station City Phagwara, District Kapurthala alongwith all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise dated 23.07.2022 arrived at between the parties. Short reply filed on behalf of respondent-State is already available on file. From a perusal of the said short reply, it transpires that there are 10 other victims in the present case with whom the settlement has not been effected. Since it is a part settlement and the other victims have not agreed to the settlement, I find no grounds to accept the said compromise and full & final settlement of the dispute. Consequently, the present petition is dismissed at this stage. (VINOD S.
