JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. Aman Kashyap, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab. Mr. Haminderjeet Singh, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of FIR No.78 dated 06.6.2009, under Sections 498-A,406,323,148 and 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Ajnala (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Petitioner and respondent No.2 are now living together peacefully in U.K. Compromise (Annexure P-2) was effected between the parties on 05.12.2009, signed by both the parties when both the parties were present. Reply has also been filed on behalf of respondent No.2, duly authenticated by Notary Public, in which she has stated that she is residing with her husband after re-conciliation and she has no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Criminal Misc.No. M- 674 of 2010 -2- In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.78 dated 06.6.2009, under Sections 498-A,406,323,148 and 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Ajnala alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioner-Dinesh Kumar. The petition is disposed of. May 14, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
