This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for the quashing of FIR No.217 dated 20.10.2011 (Annexure-P.1) registered for the offences under Sections 279, 337 and 304-A IPC at Police Station Sector 3, Chandigarh, as per principles laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Narinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and another (arising out of S.L.P.

Cr. Misc. No.M-2522 of 2016 [2] Mr. A.S. Sullar, learned Addl. P.P., Chandigarh has put in appearance on behalf of respondent-U.T., Chandigarh and Mr. G.S. Gopera, learned Advocate has appeared for respondent No.4 and contested this petition.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties as well as learned Additional P.P. for respondent-U.T., Chandigarh and have gone through the record.

In view of the judgment passed by a Division Bench of this Court in Baldev Singh v. State of Punjab and another, Criminal Misc. No.M-40769 of 2014, decided on 2.6.2016, wherein it has been held that there can be no quashing of offence under Section 304-A IPC and subsequent proceedings solely on the basis of compromise arrived at between legal heirs/representatives of the victim (deceased) and the accused, I find no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed. September 7, 2016.
