Crl. Misc. No. M-23925 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-23925 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 27, 2011 Mohd. Nisar and others .... Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab and another .... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Anil Kumar Garg, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Addl. A. G., Punjab. Mr. Jagmeet Singh, Advocate for respondent no. 2. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Mohd. Nisar and two others have filed the instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) for quashing of FIR No.22 dated 13.02.2010, under Sections 323, 324, 341, 427, 148 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Maler Kotla, District Sangrur (Annexure P-1), in view of compromise dated 11.08.2010 (Annexure P-2), allegedly effected with complainant-respondent no.2 Bikramjit Singh. Crl. Misc. No. M-23925 of 2010 2 Reply on behalf of respondent no.2, filed today in Court, is taken on record, subject to all just exceptions. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Learned counsel for respondent no.2, on instructions from respondent no.2, who is stated to be present in person in the Court today, states that parties have effected compromise Annexure P-2 and complainant-respondent no.2 has also furnished affidavit Annexure P-3 regarding compromise, and therefore, respondent no.2 has no objection, if the impugned FIR is quashed. It may be mentioned that in the occurrence, besides the complainant, one Nasim was also injured. Affidavit of said Nasim injured has also been annexed with the reply of respondent no.2. Nasim has affirmed in the affidavit that in view of compromise, he also has no objection, if the impugned FIR is 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 has been so held by a Full Bench of this Court in case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab reported as 2007 (3) Law Herald (Punjab and Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, both the injured have effected compromise with the accused persons. The parties want to live in peace. The offences are not of serious nature as only simple hurt was caused in the occurrence. Crl. Misc. No. M-23925 of 2010 3 Keeping in view all the circumstances, I find it to be a fit case, in which FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and impugned FIR No.22 dated 13.02.2010, under Sections 323, 324, 341, 427, 148 and 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Maler Kotla, District Sangrur (Annexure P-1), is quashed, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
