The prayer made in the present petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, `the Code') is for quashing of FIR No.120 dated 1.5.2007 registered at Police Station, Division No.8, Jalandhar, District Jalandhar under Sections 452, 323, 148, 149 IPC and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. The prayer made is on the ground that the matter between the parties has been compromised. Compromise deed is appended as Annexure P-2 in which it is stated that both the parties have no grudge against each other and claim of both the parties have been fully satisfied. 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 not disputed by counsel appearing for respondent No.2- complainant. Respondent No.2- complainant has also made a statement in Court today and stated that the matter has been compromised between the parties and he does not wish to proceed further with the complaint and has no objection in case the FIR in question is quashed. Once the matter has been compromised between the parties, no Criminal Misc. No. M-5718 of 2008 (O&M) -2- 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.120 dated 1.5.2007 registered at Police Station, Division No.8, Jalandhar, District Jalandhar under Sections 452, 323, 148, 149 IPC and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom.
