The prayer made in the present petition is for quashing of FIR No.668 dated 11.8.1999 registered at Police Station City, Gurgaon District Gurgaon under Sections 406, 498-A, 506 and 34 IPC and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the ground that the matter between the parties has been compromised. A decree of divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 has already been passed on 20.10.2005. Reliance has been placed upon a Five Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. The factum of the matter having been compromised between the parties is admitted by counsel for the complainant. A short reply by way of affidavit has been filed by respondent No.2- complainant, wherein she admits the factum of compromise and states that she has no objection, if the FIR in question is quashed. Reply on behalf of respondent No.1 has also been filed. Once the matter has been compromised between the parties, no useful purpose will be served by proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, considering the law laid down by this Court in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), FIR No.668 dated 11.8.1999 registered at Police Criminal Misc. No. 75835-M of 2006 -2 Station City, Gurgaon District Gurgaon under Sections 406, 498-A, 506 and 34 IPC and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. The petition is disposed of.
