IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-20760 of 2008 Date of Decision: December 02, 2008 Paramjit Singh & Others .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. M.S. Uppal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Kamaldeep Singh Sidhu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. R.K. Singla, Advocate, for respondent Nos.2 and 3. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.116 dated 11.6.2007 under Sections 406, 498-A IPC, Police Station, City Mansa. It has been contended that there was a matrimonial dispute between respondent No.3, Kulwinder Kaur and Jitender Singh. FIR came to be lodged on account of the differences at the instance of respondent No.2, Ajit Singh (father of respondent No.3.). Replies on behalf of respondent Nos.2 Crl. Misc. No. M-20760 of 2008 [2] and 3 have been filed. As per the affidavit of respondent No.2, Ajit Singh, it has been stated that that he would have no objection if the petition is allowed and FIR is quashed. Likewise, respondent No.3, Kulwinder Kaur has stated that she would also have no objection if the petition is allowed and FIR is quashed. Learned counsel for the respondent-State has not opposed the quashing in view of the compromise. Considering the fact that FIR came to be lodged on account of matrimonial differences; differences have been settled by way of compromise that has been placed on record as Annexure P-3; complainant, Ajit Singh and his daughter, Kulwinder Kaur (the alleged victim) have sworn affidavits supporting the prayer made in the petition, it would be an exercise in futility if the proceedings are allowed to continue. In view of the above, this petition is allowed. FIR No.116 dated 11.6.2007 under Sections 406, 498-A IPC, Police Station, City Mansa, is hereby quashed. (AJAI LAMBA) December 02, 2008 JUDGE avin
