CRM No. M-21680 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 03.11.2009 Jagpal Singh & another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Premjit Kalia, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab for respondent No.1-State. Mr. Balbir Singh Saini, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.103 dated 16th July, 2006, under Sections 323, 324, 326 read with Section 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Majitha, Police District Majitha, District Amritsar (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-3) arrived at between the parties. Learned counsel for the parties submit that the trial of the case is still pending and the case is fixed for prosecution evidence before the trial court. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed reply by way of affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of CRM No. M-21680 of 2009 2 compromise (Annexure P-3) arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of the fact that the parties have arrived at compromise, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
