IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No. M- 10579 of 2010 Date of decision:- 12.5.2010 Gurdev Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. A.S. Gill, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab for respondent No.1-State. Mr. S.P. Soi, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of cross version in FIR No.115 dated 20.11.2004, under Sections 323, 324, 148 and 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Bhogpur, District Jalandhar on the basis of compromise. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has surrendered before the learned Trial Court and is facing the trial. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled and compromises (Annexure P-3 and P-6) have been effected due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Respondent No.2-complainant also appeared through counsel and filed her short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that she is having no objection if the cross version in the said FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. 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 Criminal Misc.No. M- 10579 of 2010 -2- are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and cross version in FIR No.115 dated 20.11.2004, under Sections 323, 324, 148 and 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Bhogpur, District Jalandhar alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioner-Gurdev Singh. The petition is disposed of. Copy of the order be given under the signature of the Reader of this Bench. May 12, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
