Esteemed Sir, I am to submit as under:&1. Prof Anita Sekhri has been working as a RAJ KUMAR ARORA 2026.02.18 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 1 lecturer in Economics at DAV College, Amritsar and residing at 25 B;Guru Amardas Avenue Ajnala Road Amritsar with mobile. No. 981 5285186. 2. The undersigned has served DAV College, Amritsar as Lecturer in Eco, From 1967&1991 and after that served as principal DAV College Batala (1991&1997), K.R.M DAV college Nakodar, Distt. Jalandhar (1997&2000) and DAV college Amritsar (2004&05) and 2005&06 and retired thereafter. 3. Prof. Anita Sekhri had been my student as well as colleague at DAV College Amritsar. 4. Being a teacher and principal I was given to understand that her married life had been a disturbed one. 5. It was in the month of January 2012 when the undersigned had been working in Lovely Professional University, Phagwara that Prof. Anita Sekhri demanded an amount of Rs. 8 lakhs as a loan because her husband had deserted her and had filed several cases in the court of law at Amritsar against his wife namely case regarding the bouncing of cheques with very heavy amount and claiming his right on the property at 25&B Guru Amardas avenue Ajnala Road, Amritsar. 6. When I expressed my helplessness in giving such a big amount of loan she had offered me to purchase one plot measuring 152.88 sq. Yards Gumtala Sub Urban Abadi Colony Tehsil Amritsar&2 at the road of Jujhar Singh Avenue, Amritsar Plot was purchased by paying an amount of Rs. 11 lakhs and the registry was done in my name. 7. It was in the month of July 2015 that Prof. Anita Sekhri, informed that she might loss the case of ownership of property in the court therefore, she desired to transfer her property 25&B Guru Armadas Avenue Ajnala Road Amritsar in my name otherwise her family including mother and son shall be homeless. 8. In September 2015 her kith was transferred in my name in the District Court, Amritsar. 9. In November 2015, Prof. Anita Sekhri informed that Punjab Govt. has imposed property tax on buildings as well as on plots. 10. Since I have been working at Vedic Mohan Ashram, a Guest house of DAV at Haridwar from RAJ KUMAR ARORA 2026.02.18 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 5 2012 1 had spent original registry to her at Amritsar so that required property tax could be paid. 11. After about six months, I started demanding my original registry but she agreed to return the same after her property at 25&B Guru Amar Dass Avenue, Ajnala Road, Amritsar was transferred from my name to her name. 12. On 26&02&16 I went to Amritsar & the property was transferred, in her name in the presence of Mr. Pankaj Kumar, college attendant/peon who acted as a witness. 13. Since March, 2016 1 had been pressing hard to return my registry but my several phones as well as messages were never responded deliberately. 14. On March 2016 Mr. Pankaj Kumar from his mobile No. 94640&21787 informed me at Haridwar that Mr. Saheb Kumar son of Prof Anita Sekhri has handed over one packet to him for making a speed post at my address at Haridwar. 15. As per his statement speed post was forwarded on 26&03&201 6 as 25&03&2016 it was a holiday in post office due to Good Friday. The same speed post has not been received till this date. 16, Then I had sent photocopy of registry to a senior teacher at DAV College Amritsar to know about the status of my registry. 17. On his enquiry it has been confirmed that Prof. Anita Sekhri had got the registry of my plot transferred on 12&07&2015 in her name by getting my signature on folded papers as settled with the vasika nawis. 18. Since 12&07&2015, she had been lying and did not reveal that she has cheated and robbed me of Rs.11 lakhs by using fraudulent method of getting my registry transferred in her name. 19. Sir, it is clear case of 420 and fraud by Prof. Anita Sekhri against her teacher as well as principal. I request you to kindly probe an enquiry into the, whole episode and set. the wrong right. I am sure that you kindly help me in the matter and grant me justice. She should either surrender Rs.11 lakhs or get the registry transferred back in my name.” 0 -*4; 4435# " 00410/ RAJ KUMAR ARORA 2026.02.18 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document ; + "/%= ) % / + (."C# !% ! *) ! # # “Today I ASI along with HC Pargat Singh 1756, HC Dalip Singh 2610 were on patrolling for searching for the bad elements and as such a Naka was laid down near Navalti Chowk.

In view of the aforesaid discussion, we sum up and lay down RAJ KUMAR ARORA 2026.02.18 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 1 the following principles by which the High Court would be guided in giving adequate treatment to the settlement between the parties and exercising its power under Section 482 of the Code while accepting the settlement and quashing the proceedings or refusing to accept the settlement with direction to continue with the criminal proceedings: 29.1. Power conferred under Section 482 of the Code is to be distinguished from the power which lies in the Court to compound the offences under Section 320 of the Code. No doubt, under Section 482 of the Code, the High Court has inherent power to quash the criminal proceedings even in those cases which are not compoundable, where the parties have settled the matter between themselves. However, this power is to be exercised sparingly and with caution. 29.2. When the parties have reached the settlement and on that basis petition for quashing the criminal proceedings is filed, the guiding factor in such cases would be to secure: i. ends of justice, or ii. (ii) to prevent abuse of the process of any court. While exercising the power the High Court is to form an opinion on either of the aforesaid two objectives. 29.3. Such a power is not to be exercised in those prosecutions which involve heinous and serious offences of mental depravity or offences like murder, rape, dacoity, etc. Such offences are not private in nature and have a serious impact on society. Similarly, for the offences alleged to have been committed under special statute like the Prevention of Corruption Act or the offences committed by public servants while working in that capacity are not to be quashed merely on the basis of compromise between the victim and the offender. RAJ KUMAR ARORA 2026.02.18 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 5 29.4. On the other hand, those criminal cases having overwhelmingly and predominantly civil character, particularly those arising out of commercial transactions or arising out of matrimonial relationship or family disputes should be quashed when the parties have resolved their entire disputes among themselves. 29.5. While exercising its powers, the High Court is to examine as to whether the possibility of conviction is remote and bleak and continuation of criminal cases would put the accused to great oppression and prejudice and extreme injustice would be caused to him by not quashing the criminal cases.” (emphasis supplied) %%+ % + ! #% %% #( ,# %! #!!% + ! # " 14@*"" !# ,# ! ! .
