Crl. Misc. No. M-22523 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-22523 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 26.8.2010 Bharat Bhushan alias Goldy & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.K. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Vikas Malik, AAG, Haryana. Mr. N.K. Malhotra, Advocate for respondent No.3. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 309 dated 15th May, 2008, (Annexure P-1) under Sections 498-A, 406, 506 read with Section 34 IPC, registered at police station City Rohtak, and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. The complainant/respondent No.3 is present in Court. She is duly identified by her counsel. She has filed an affidavit in court today, which is taken on record as Mark 'A', wherein the factum of compromise arrived at between her and the petitioner No.1 (her husband) has been admitted. In the affidavit she states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Crl. Misc. No. M-22523 of 2010 2 Learned State counsel submits that since the parties have arrived at an amicable settlement, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of a Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR ( Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 26.8.2010 'rajpal'
