Chandigarh, September 24, 2021: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has dismissed a petition which sought quashing of an FIR registered under Sections 148, 149, 323, 379-B, 506 of the IPC and Section 3 of the SC and ST Act.
The Bench of Justice Harnaresh Singh Gill opined that a perusal of the file showed that the true typed copy of the compromise was not complete, inasmuch as, some of the contents of last page of the said document, were missing.
Not only this, the true typed copy of the compromise as also its Vernacular did not bear any date. Thus, the said incomplete document cannot be taken and/or made the basis for quashing the FIR, noted the Bench.
Keeping in view of these facts, the Court was not inclined to entertain the present petition and hence, the same was dismissed.
