RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is a petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.75, dated 15.9.2009, under Sections 323, 295-A, 34 IPC, Annexure P1, registered at Police Station Maur District Bathinda, and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been stated by counsel for the parties that parties belong to nearby villages and dispute between them has been settled due to intervention of respectable persons of the village. It has also been stated by learned State counsel, on instructions from Jagdeep Singh, H.C., that offence under Section 295-A has been deleted after investigation. It has further been stated that it came during investigation that compromise has been effected between petitioners and respondent no.2-complainant. Respondent no.2, Baldev Singh, complainant, has also come present alongwith his counsel and stated that he is having no objection if the Crl.M.No.M-8624 of 2010 (O&M) -2- present petition is accepted and the FIR alongwith all consequential proceedings are quashed, as the matter has been compromised. Affidavit of complainant-Baldev Singh in this regard is already placed on record as Annexure P2. 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 of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, keeping in view these facts and in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.75, dated 15.9.2009, under Sections 323, 295-A, 34 IPC, Annexure P1, registered at Police Station Maur District Bathinda, and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, qua petitioners-Sadhu Ram, Ashish Kumar Garg and Narinder Sharma @ Kala is quashed. 13.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
