CRM No. M-4774 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-4774 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 17.12.2009 Kulwinder Kaur & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. B.D. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Krishan Sehal Pal, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.79 dated 29th April, 2007 under Section 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Adampur, District Jalandhar and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that during pendency of this petition, a compromise has been arrived at between the parties. According to him, the entire matrimonial dispute has been amicably resolved. A deed of compromise is already placed on record as Annexure P-10. He has also submitted that in view of the compromise, prayer for quashing of order, Annexure P-9 (under Section 319 Cr.P.C.) has become redundant. This factual averment has not been disputed by learned CRM No. M-4774 of 2009 2 counsel appearing for respondent No.2. He has placed on record an affidavit of Manjit Kaur complainant/respondent No.2 wherein she submits that she has no objection in case the FIR and consequential proceedings against all the accused are quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of the fact that the present FIR is regarding a matrimonial dispute, 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.
