1. Crl. Misc No. M 6214 OF 2011 Sandeep Bhardwaj vs The State of Punjab and another 2. Crl. Misc No. M 21384 of 2011 Sandeep Bhardwaj & another vs State of Punjab and another ****** Present : Mr. Krishan Singla, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S.Gill, AAG Punjab Mr. Suneet Sharma, Advocate for the complainant. ******* This order shall dispose of Crl. Misc No. M 6214 and 21384 of 2011. Crl. Misc No. M 6214 of 2011 is for anticipatory bail, while Crl. Misc No. No. M 21384 of 2011 is for quashing of FIR No.20, dated 25.1.2011, registered under Sections 420/406 of the IPC, at Police Station Mandi Gobindgarh, District Fatehgarh Sahib. Both parties are present in Court. With the intervention of learned counsel, both parties have arrived at a compromise. A compromise deed dated 30.5.2011 in this regard has been filed which is taken on record as Mark `A'. As per the compromise, the complainant has received whatever was due from the petitioners and does not want to take any further action against them. Mr. Suneet Sharma, Advocate has entered appearance on behalf of the complainant and has accepted the compromise. He has also filed an affidavit dated 30.5.2011. Counsel for the State of Punjab, on instructions from Inspector Ravinder Mohan, has also accepted that compromise has indeed taken place Crl. Misc No. M 6214 of 2011 :2: between the parties. In view of the facts, noticed herein above, it is apparent that both the parties have arrived at a bona fide settlement and infact respondent No.2 has received the amount in question. I am of the opinion that it would be in the interest of justice, as also in the interest of parties, if the present FIR and all subsequent proceedings, emanating therefrom are quashed. It is a fit case where this Court should exercise jurisdiction, under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C to put an end to these futile criminal proceedings. Even otherwise, a Full Bench of this Court has issued broad guidelines in Kulwinder Singh and others vs State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR (Crl) 1052, for quashing of the FIR where parties enter into compromise. Consequently, Crl. Misc No. M 21384 of 2011 is allowed and FIR No.20, dated 25.1.2011, registered under Sections 420/406 of the IPC, at Police Station Mandi Gobindgarh, District Fatehgarh Sahib, and all subsequent proceedings, emanating therefrom, are quashed. Crl. Misc No. M 6214 of 2011 for anticipatory bail is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 18, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
