Crl. Misc. No. M-2428 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-2428 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: May 18, 2010 Simrat Kaur and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr. DK Singla, Advocate, for Mr. Inderjit Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. AS Brar, Sr. DAG, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Mr. Ashish Grover, Advocate, for respondent No.2. GURDEV SINGH, J. Heard. Petitioners-Simrat Kaur and Gurjant Singh, have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code for quashing of FIR No. 59 dated 2.10.2009 registered at Police Station SGN Dev. Thermal, under Sections 3 (1) (X) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, on the ground that the matter has been amicably settled and has been got resolved through compromise dated 14.1.2010. Report of the trial court was called, if the parties have voluntarily entered into the compromise and that report was to be made after recording the statements of the parties. The report of the trial court has been received. It has been Crl. Misc. No. M-2428 of 2010 2 recorded therein that the parties have voluntarily entered into the compromise. Though the above said offence is not compoundable, however, it was held by the Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and another 2007 (3) RCR (Cr.) 1052, that the parties can enter into compromise even in respect of the offences which are not compoundable and the FIR can be quashed on the basis thereof. After the parties have entered into the compromise, there is no question of the complainant/injured supporting the prosecution case in the court. Therefore, continuance of the proceedings before the trial court would be a futile exercise and will only result in wastage of the court time. Therefore, in view of the compromise, so entered between the parties, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings are ordered to be quashed. May 18, 2010 (GURDEV SINGH ) prem JUDGE
