Crl. Misc. No.M-18330 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-18330 of 2011 Date of Decision: 30.08.2011 Jagmohan and others ..... Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ..... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present: Mr. J.S. Cooner, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sameer Singh, AAG, Haryana, for respondent No.1. Mr. Varinder Kumar, Advocate, for respondent Nos.2 to 4. L.N. MITTAL, J. Jagmohan and seven others have filed the instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') for quashing the FIR No.89 dated 20.05.2011 under Sections 148, 149, 323, 452, 307, 506, 427 IPC registered at Police Station Pinjore, District Panchkula (Annexure P-1) in view of the compromise (Annexure P-2) effected with respondent No.2 – complainant as well as respondent Nos.3 and 4 injured persons who have also furnished affidavits (Annexures P-3 to P-5) regarding the compromise. Replies on behalf of respondent Nos.1 and 4 filed today in Court are taken on record subject to all just exceptions. Copy supplied to the opposite counsel. Replies on behalf of respondent Nos.2 and 3 have already been filed. Respondent Nos.2 to 4 in the reply have admitted that they have Crl. Misc. No.M-18330 of 2011 -2- effected compromise (Annexure P-2) with the petitioners and they have no objection to the quashing of the FIR. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. 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 and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 1052. In the instant case, parties have effected compromise. Offence under Section 307 IPC has since been dropped as conceded by the State counsel on instructions from Head Constable Balwinder Singh. The remaining offences are not of serious nature. Grievance of complainant and injured persons have been redressed. Accordingly, it is a fit case in which the FIR should be quashed. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.89 dated 20.05.2011 under Sections 148, 149, 323, 452, 307, 506, 427 IPC registered at Police Station Pinjore, District Panchkula (Annexure P-1) is quashed qua petitioners along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
