CRM-19582-2026 in/and CRR-1537-2023 2.

Initially, the petitioners were arraigned as accused but later on absolved by the Investigator and prosecution was not launched against them and launched against other accused and there is a cross case and trial is still going. In between, respondent filed an application under Section 319 CrPC for summoning of the petitioners as additional accused. The trial Court allowed such application and summoned the petitioners. 3.

Feeling aggrieved, the petitioners have come up before this Court challenging the order of summoning.

4.

Counsel for respondent No.1 submits that the matter stands compromised between the parties and submits that they have no objection in case the present petition is allowed and the order vide which the petitioners were summoned be quashed and set aside.

5.

Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are young boys and their entire career is at stake and it would have adverse impact on their career. 6.

State counsel vehemently opposed such prayer and submits that the complainant take State for a ride because it was at the instance of the complainant that the application was initiated.

7.

Be that as it may, the State cannot dispute the fact that initially the petitioners were absolved by the Investigator and even the complainant has settled the matter with the petitioners.

8.

Given above, present petition is allowed. The impugned order dated 12.05.2023 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, SAS Nagar is quashed and set aside based on compromise entered between the parties. Present petitioners are acquitted of all charges. Bail bonds are discharged. All pending application(s), if any, stand closed.
