Learned counsel for complainant-respondent no. 2, on instructions from respondent no. 2 who is also present in person, states that compromise has been effected between the parties and therefore, respondent No. 2 has no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR. 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 was so held by Full Bench of this Court Criminal Misc. No. M-10863 of 2009 -2- in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs State of Punjab, 2007 (3) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, there was some matrimonial dispute of complainant-respondent no. 2 as well as of her brother. The same has been settled. Marriage has been dissolved by divorce. Complainant-respondent no. 2 is left with no grievance. Accordingly, it is a fit case in which FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 288 dated 14.9.2008, under sections 182, 195, 196, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station Basti Jodhewal (Annexure P/1), is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
