Criminal Misc. No.M-37264 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-37264 of 2010 Date of Decision : 20.07.2011 Baldev Kumar @ Debu .... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another .... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present : Mr. N. S. Sodhi, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Rajni Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Punjab for respondent No.1. Mr. Mohamad Salim, Advocate for Mr. A. K. Verma, Advocate for respondent No.2. * * * * L.N.MITTAL, J. (ORAL) Baldev Kumar @ Debu has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code (in short, Cr. P.C.), for quashing FIR No.51 dated 01.03.2007 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 51, 52, 63, 66, 68-A of Copy Right Act, 1957 of Police Station Sadar Ferozpur, in view of compromise Annexure P-2 effected with complainant- respondent No.2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. The case relates to pirated CDs. Respondent No.2- complainant whose CDs were pirated has effected compromise with the petitioner. In appropriate cases, FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr. P. C., even if the Criminal Misc. No.M-37264 of 2010 -2- offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab 2007(2) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, the complainant- respondent No.2 who is the victim of the alleged offences has effected compromise with the petitioner. It is, therefore, fit case in which FIR should be quashed along with all consequential proceedings in view of compromise between the parties. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR Annexure P-1 is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. ( L. N. MITTAL) JUDGE 20th July, 2011 'raj'
