The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C for quashing of the FIR No. 198 dated 23.4.2003 registered under Sections 447/323/506/34 IPC at Police Station Sadar, Patiala, District Patiala on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). Notice of motion was issued to the respondents. Pardeep Kaur, respondent no.2 appeared and filed her affidavit along with the affidavits of other injured, namely, Laj Kaur @ Crl. Misc. No. M-10923 of 2009 2 Lajwanti and Jaswinder Kaur. Vide order dated 6.10.2009, parties were directed to appear before the trial Court to get their statements recorded regarding compromise. Trial Court was further directed to record the statements of the parties and submit a report on or before the next date of hearing regarding the genuineness of the compromise. As per direction, trial Court submitted report to the effect that statements of the parties were recorded and the compromise is genuine one. Counsel for the petitioner states that the parties are related to each other. They have effected compromise. As per compromise, parties are to reside peacefully otherwise there are chances of further litigation. Learned State counsel and counsel for respondent no.2 also stated that as per compromise, they have no objection if the aforesaid FIR is quashed. To afford an opportunity to the parties to reside peacefully as per compromise, I am of the opinion that the aforesaid FIR deserves to be quashed. When the complainant-party is not going to support the prosecution story then ultimately accused are to be acquitted. of the charge levelled against them. No useful purpose would be solved to direct the accused to face trial. After compromise, there is no chance of further litigation. In view of all discussed above as per compromise amongst the parties, present petition is accepted. FIR No. 198 dated 23.4.2003 is quashed with all the subsequent proceedings Crl. Misc. No. M-10923 of 2009 3 arising therefrom. October 29, 2009 ( JORA SINGH ) ritu JUDGE
