MANJARI NEHRU KAUL, J. (ORAL) At the outset, learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the prayer made by the petitioners for quashing of the FIR on the basis of a compromise. It has been asserted by the learned State counsel, on instructions, that the petitioners are seeking quashing of FIR only qua them to the exclusion of other acccused; hence, it is a case of partial quashing, which is contrary to the settled ratio of law as laid down by a Division Bench of this Court in CRM-M No.48043 of 2023 titled as Rakesh Das Versus State of Haryana and another, decided on 12.11.2024 that partial quashing of an FIR is not maintainable. Accordingly, the instant petition stands dismissed. February 19th, 2025 (MANJARI NEHRU KAUL) Puneet JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned :
