Kalra, Advocate, for the petitioners Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Respondent No.2 in person. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.157 dated 31st October, 2005, under Sections 365, 368, 120-B read with Section 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Sri Hargobindpur, Police District Batala, District Gurdaspur (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by the counsel. He has filed an affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. According to his affidavit, the girl namely, Gurpreet Kaur is living with the complainant now. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. CRM No. M-3209 of 2009 2 Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a compromise, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
