PETITIONERS Versus State of Punjab and another. ...... RESPONDENTS CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Satpal Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. Mr. Gaurav Goyal, Advocate for respondent No.2. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No.68, dated 11.04.2009 under Sections 406/420 IPC registered at P.S. Rajpura, District Patiala, Annexure P1, and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2, having been entered into between the parties. CRM No.M-1682 of 2010 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that matter has since been settled due to intervention of respectable persons. Respondent No.2 – complainant also appeared in person with his counsel and filed reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. Reply has also been filed on behalf of respondent – State stating that compromise has been effected between the parties and that cancellation report has also been prepared. 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 in the case of Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of the respectable persons, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 68, dated 11.04.2009 under Sections 406/420 IPC registered at P.S. Rajpura, District Patiala, Annexure P1 alongwith all consequential proceedings qua Harbhajan Singh, Gurmeet Singh and Surjeet Singh is, hereby, quashed. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) April 29, 2010.
