IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. -M No. 1004 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision : March 03, 2009 Surjit Singh and another ....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another ....Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Mr. SK Sandhir, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Vishal Munjal, DAG Punjab Mr. HS Saggu, Advocate for respondent no. 2 Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) Petitioners have brought this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of F.I.R. No. 24 dated 24.1.2001 registered under Sections 406, 498-A of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Sadar Ludhiana and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. Without going into any further details, suffice it to say that the aforesaid case was registered at the instance of respondent no. 2 Ramneek Kaur Gill complainant who is present in the Court and identified by his counsel Sh. HS Saggu. Now the parties have settled the dispute amicably with the intervention of the respectables and common relations. In this regard, compromise deed dated 10.1.2009 Annexure P/2 is also placed on the file. The prosecution evidence is yet to be recorded. In the given facts and circumstances, this Court feels that no useful purpose would be served if the proceedings in the case in hand are Criminal Misc. -M No. 1004 of 2009 (O&M) -2- allowed to continue. Moreover, it would also be in the interest of peace and harmony between the parties to close the chapter of this case. In the result, this petition succeeds and consequently, F.I.R. No. 24 dated 24.1.2001 registered under Sections 406, 498-A of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Sadar Ludhiana and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby ordered to be quashed, qua the petitioners.
