Petitioners VERSUS State of Punjab and another .. Respondents * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Ms.G.K.Mann, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Arshvinder Singh, DAG, Punjab, for the respondent-State. Mr.K.S.Sandhu, Advocate, for respondent No.2. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioners seek the quashing of FIR No.166 dated 16.10.2003, under Sections 447, 427, 506, 511,148, 149 & 452 IPC, registered at Police Station, Majitha, on the basis of compromise. Said FIR was registered at the instance of Gurcharan Singh, respondent No.2, alleging that on 16.10.2003, all the petitioners had trespassed in his house constituting an unlawful assembly. The matter has now been compromised. A copy of . . . 1 Crl.Misc.No.M-25228 of 2009 (O&M) the compromise has been placed on record. The injured witnesses have also furnished affidavit to the effect that the matter has been compromised and that the proceedings against the accused should be quashed on the basis of compromise. I have considered the facts and circumstances of the present case. On the basis of compromise, the FIR can be quashed as per the Full Bench judgment of this Court in case Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.), Page-1052. As the matter is pending since the year 2003 and precious time of the police and Courts has been wasted, as such, in the interest of justice, I deem it appropriate to order that the quashing of FIR will be subject to deposit of total sum of Rs.5,000/- with Punjab State Legal Services Authority, and another total sum of Rs.5,000/- with the Punjab Police Welfare Fund, Sector 9, Chandigarh, within a period of one month. In case the amount is not deposited as stated above, this petition will be deemed to have been dismissed. However, in case the amount is not deposited, it will not be a bar for the trial Court to acquit the accused on the basis of the evidence produced before the Court. Disposed of.
