It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that the matter has been compromised between the parties due to intervention of CRM No.M-4482 of 2010 respectable persons and relatives as the same is matrimonial in nature. It is further contended that pursuant to compromise, Annexure P2, petition for mutual divorce has already been filed by petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2. and that divorce by mutual consent has also been granted to the parties by the court of learned Additional District Judge, Panchkula. Respondent No.2 has also appeared alongwith her counsel in this Court and admitted the factum of compromise, Annexure P2 and stated she is having no objection if the FIR and subsequent proceedings are quashed. 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 case Kulwinder Singh v State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of the respectable persons and relatives, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.159, dated 25.03.2008, under Sections 323/406/498-A IPC registered at P.S.
