Crl. Misc. M-34104 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No.34104 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 26.4.2010 Ramesh Bajaj and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms. Kiran Verma, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sandeep Moudgil, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. BBS Sobti, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.28 dated 5th May, 2006, under Sections 420, 487, 488 IPC, 63 of Copy Right Act and 77 & 78 of Trade & Merchandise Act, registered at Police Station Division No.8, Ludhiana (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 his 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. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of the Crl. Misc. M-34104 of 2008 2 fact that the parties have arrived at a compromise, the State will 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 qua the petitioners.
