Puri Present: Ms. Mandeep Kaur, Advocate for Sh. R.S. Bains, Advocate for the petitioners Sh. R.P. Verma, Advocate for U.T., Chandigarh. ... K.C. Puri, J. This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.247 dated 24.6.2005 under Sections 406, 498-A and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, registered at Police Station Sector 17, Chandigarh. Respondent No.2 has been served through publication in Hindustan Times on 7.7.2010, but none has appeared on her behalf. So, respondent No.2 is proceeded against ex parte. Counsel for Union Territory, Chandigarh has stated at the Bar that parties have arrived at a compromise. Counsel for the petitioners has also placed on record order passed by Ontario Crl.M. No. M-34684 of 2009 -2- Superior Court of Justice, in which it is mentioned that FIR No.247 dated 24.6.2005 under Sections 406, 498-A and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, registered at Police Station Sector 17, Chandigarh, shall be withdrawn. Since the complainant has not come present, so the assertion made by counsel for Union Territory, Chandigarh, that matter has been compromised is supported by the above said judgment. Counsel for Union Territory, Chandigarh, has further stated that cancellation report is to be submitted. However, since the matter has been compromised in Ontario Superior Court of Justice, FIR No.247 dated 24.6.2005 under Sections 406, 498-A and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, registered at Police Station Sector 17, Chandigarh, stands quashed. Further proceedings, in pursuant to that FIR also stand quashed. ( K.C. Puri ) 07.10.2010 Judge chugh
