BHOLA SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr. P.C. praying for quashing of FIR No. 83 dated 2.7.2013 (Annexure -P.1) registered for the offences under Sections 323, 341, 506 and 34 IPC and Section 3 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, which was added later on, at Police Station Sarhali, District Tarn Taran and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom in view of the compromise (Annexures -P.3 and P. 4).

(2.) THE FIR has been registered on the statement of complainant -Sukhraj Singh on the allegations that Bhola Singh along with his accomplices came in two cars and started slapping him and his accomplices started giving him beatings. They also gave him life threats. The reason behind the above incident was an old enmity due to the fact that Bhola Singh was forcing him to cast votes in favour of Rajwant Kaur, who was the candidate for Sarpanch in their Village. Now with the intervention of respectable persons of the Village, the matter has been amicably settled and compromise deeds (Annexures -P.3 and 4) in this regard have been entered into between the parties.

(3.) LEARNED Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, on instructions from the Investigating Officer and learned counsel for complainant -respondent No. 2 admit the factum of compromise and submit that in case the parties have indeed settled their dispute, the State would have no objection to the quashing of the FIR in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
