PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Saurabh Bajaj, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl.AG, Punjab. Shri Saranjit Singh, respondent in person. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, has been filed for quashing of case FIR No.32 dated 16.2.2009 under Section 406, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Phase 8, Mohali, District S.A.S. Nagar (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings, on the basis of compromise. It has been contended on behalf of the petitioners that on account of a civil dispute, the FIR came to be lodged. The dispute has been settled by way of compromise. Compromise deed has been placed on record as Annexure P-2. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from Criminal Misc. No.6213 -M of 2009 2 ASI Harbans Singh, states that the factum of compromise has been verified. Indeed, the parties have settled their dispute by way of compromise. Shri Saranjit Singh, respondent No.2/complainant is present in court, and states that he does not want to prosecute the petitioners as the dispute has been settled by way of compromise. Considering the fact that the victim is not ready to bring evidence to court, the proceedings would not come to a logical end, if allowed to continue. Continuance of proceedings, rather, shall be against the interest of justice. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.32 dated 16.2.2009 under Section 406, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Phase 8, Mohali, District S.A.S. Nagar (Annexure P- 1) and subsequent proceedings are hereby quashed. February 26, 2010 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
