JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. J.S. Dadwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab for respondent No.1-State assisted by HC Parvinder Singh. Mr. Anterpreet Singh, Advocate for respondent Nos.3 to 8. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.17 dated 19.1.2007, under Sections 304-A, 279 and 427 IPC, registered at Police Station Subhanpur, District Kapurthala (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that in the accident one Om Dutt expired and that all the legal heirs of Om Dutt entered into compromise with the present petitioner-accused. All the legal representatives of deceased have been impleaded parties in this case. Their statements were recorded by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kapurthala and the report has been received to the effect that the compromise has been genuinely entered between the petitioner and legal representatives of deceased Om Dutt. Mandeep Kumar-complainant has also appeared through counsel and filed reply by way of short affidavit stating that he has no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of Criminal Misc.No. M- 25262 of 2009 -2- 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 in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in view of the fact that the matter has been compromised between the parties amicably, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.17 dated 19.1.2007, under Sections 304-A, 279 and 427 IPC, registered at Police Station Subhanpur, District Kapurthala alongwith consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioner-Gian Singh.
