JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Sunil Chadha, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Anter Singh Brar, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Sachin Kapoor, Advocate for respondent No.2. *** RAJESH BINDAL J. (ORAL) The prayer made in the present petition is for quashing of FIR No.85 dated 17.8.2000, under Sections 451, 380, 448, 457 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station, Division No.4, Ludhiana against the petitioners and subsequent proceedings thereto, on the basis of compromise entered into between the parties attached with the petition. The parties to the dispute are real brothers. They have amicably settled their dispute by compromise. Counsel for respondent No.2 who is present in person in Court admits that the dispute between the parties has been settled. Reliance has been placed on a five judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. Once the dispute between the parties has been settled, no useful Crl. Misc. No.46095-M of 2007 -2- purpose will be served by continuing with the proceedings against the petitioners. Consequently, FIR No.85 dated 17.8.2000, under Sections 451, 380, 448, 457 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station, Division No.4, Ludhiana against the petitioners and all subsequent proceedings thereto are quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly. ( RAJESH BINDAL ) January 15, 2008 JUDGE sn/ashish
