PETITIONERS Versus State of Punjab and others. ...... RESPONDENTS CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Amarjit Markan, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. Mr. N.S.Dandiwal, Advocate for respondent Nos.2 and 3. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.14 dated 12.01.2008 registered under Sections 498-A/406 IPC at P.S. Moga city, Annexure P1 and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2, having been entered into between the parties. 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 dispute between the parties is matrimonial in nature and the same has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Respondent Nos.2 and 3 have also appeared in person with their counsel and filed replies by way of affidavits admitting the factum of compromise and stating that they have no objection if the FIR and subsequent proceedings are 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 was so held by Full Bench of this Court in case Kulwinder Singh v State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in view of the fact that dispute between the parties is matrimonial in nature which has been amicably settled, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.14 dated 12.1.2008 registered under Sections 498- A/406 IPC at P.S. Moga city, Annexure P1, is quashed alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) April 6, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
