Crl. Misc. No.M-30317 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-30317 of 2010 Date of Decision: 29.08.2011 Sukhjit Singh and others ..... Petitioners Versus The State of Punjab and another ..... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present: Mr. Raminder Chauhan, Advocate, for Ms. Malkiat Mann, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. AG, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Ms. Kuldip Kaur Ghuman, Advocate, for respondent No.2. L.N. MITTAL, J. Sukhjit Singh and three others have filed the instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') for quashing the FIR No.56 dated 20.05.2010 under Sections 419, 420 and 120-B IPC registered at Police Station Dera Bassi, District SAS Nagar, (Annexure P-1) in view of the compromise dated 1.9.2010 (Annexure P-2) effected with complainant-respondent No.2. Pursuant to order dated 2.06.2011, report has been received from the trial Magistrate that parties have effected compromise. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 – complainant on instructions from respondent No.2 who is said to be present in person in the Crl. Misc. No.M-30317 of 2010 -2- Court also states that compromise (Annexure P-2) has been effected between the parties and, therefore, respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR. 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 and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 1052. In the instant case, complainant – respondent No.2 who is the aggrieved person has effected compromise and his grievance has been satisfied. Consequently, it is a fit case in which the FIR should be quashed. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.56 dated 20.05.2010 under Sections 419, 420 and 120-B IPC registered at Police Station Dera Bassi, District SAS Nagar (Annexure P-1) is quashed qua petitioners along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
