I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that the parties belong to same village and due to intervention of respectable persons of the village and relatives from both the sides, the dispute has been amicably settled between the parties. Respondent No.2 also appeared and filed short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. 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, in view of these facts and in the interest of harmonious Criminal Misc.No. M- 36619 of 2009 -2- relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.6 dated 31.1.2003, under Sections 323, 324, 148 and 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Rangar Nangal, District Gurdaspur alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed.
