Short reply by way of affidavit on behalf of respondent No.2 filed today in Court is taken on record. It has been affirmed in the affidavit that with the intervention of respectables and relatives, matter has been amicably settled between the parties and therefore, respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 on instructions from respondent No.2 who is present in person in the Court, also makes a Crl. Misc. No.M-21196 of 2009 -2- similar statement. 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 Kulwinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, there was property dispute between the complainant-respondent No.2 and her uncles and others. The said property dispute has since been amicably settled. The grievance of the complainant-respondent No.2 has been satisfied. It is, therefore, a fit case in which the impugned FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.65 dated 21.05.2009 under Sections 420 and 120-B IPC registered at police station City, Fazilka, Distt. Ferozepur (Annexure P-1) is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. ( L. N. MITTAL ) JUDGE 07.09.2009 A.Kaundal
