Crl. Misc. No. 24637 of 2009 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-24637 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: 10.3.2010 Surinder Singh, ..........Petitioner Versus Darsh Singh, ..........Respondent BEFORE:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. P.S. Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Aman Dhir, Advocate for the respondent. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. The present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioner for quashing of complaint No. RT-209 dated 25.2.2004 and 20.7.2005 titled as Darshan Singh Vs. Surinder Singh under Section 166/167/500 IPC pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridkot, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). Complainant-Darshan Singh is present in Court and he has been identified by his counsel. Complainant-Darshan Singh has specifically stated in the Court that the matter has been compromised between the parties and now he does not want to pursue the matter. In view of the statement made by complainant-Darshan Singh, no purpose would be served if the case is tried, as per the compromise, the respondent will not support the case of the prosecution and it would be sheer wastage of precious time of this Court. Crl. Misc. No. 24637 of 2009 (2) It has been observed by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Mrs. Shakuntala Sawhney Vs. Mr. Kaushalya Sawhney and others 1980 (1) SCC 63 that “the finest Hour of Justice arrives propitiously when the parties, despite following apart bury the hatchet and weave a sense of fellowship of reunion.” Relying on the views adopted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the Five Judges Bench of this Court also observed in Kulwinder Singh Versus State of Punjab, RCR 2007 (3) 1052 that compounding of offence which are not compoundable under Section 320(9) Cr.P.C. but parties entering into compromise, this Court has the power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to allowing compounding of non-compoundable offences and quash the prosecution where the Court felt that the same was required to prevent the abuse of any Court or to otherwise secure the ends of justice. The present one is a case covered by the views observed by Hon'ble the Supreme Court of India in the judgment mentioned above and, is therefore, a fit case to quash the FIR. In view of the above, complaint No. RT-209 dated 25.2.2004 and 20.7.2005 titled as Darshan Singh Vs. Surinder Singh under Section 166/167/500 IPC and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of.
