NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, seeking quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.48 dated April 20th, 2011 (Annexure P1), registered under Sections 279, 337 and 427 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') in Police Station Goindwal Sahib, District Tarn Tarn. Parwinder Singh – respondent No.2/complainant has stated at bar that he has compromised the matter with the petitioner with the intervention of the relatives and friends. Compromise-deed (Annexure P2) has been placed on record. He further states that there is no ill-will left. Indeed, the offences, for which the petitioner is facing trial, are non-compoundable. Notwithstanding that, there cannot be any embargo in allowing the parties to compromise the matter in view of the law laid down by the Five Judge Bench's decision of this Court rendered in Kulwinder Singh & others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052. Thus, this Court is also of opinion that no useful purpose would be served by allowing the criminal proceedings to continue against the petitioner. In view of the above, the petition is accepted, FIR No.48 dated April 20th, 2011 (Annexure P1), registered under Sections 279, 337 and 427 IPC in Police Station Goindwal Sahib, District Tarn Tarn and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
