Aurora, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of criminal complaint case No.13 dated 12.5.1998, under Sections 406 and 498- A IPC read with Section 120-B IPC (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and that the same has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides vide Annexure P-2. Respondent No.2-complainant also appeared through counsel and filed her short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that she is having no objection if the complaint and consequential proceedings against the petitioner are quashed. In appropriate cases FIR/complaint 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 Criminal Misc.No. M- 14261 of 2010 -2- Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and criminal complaint case No.13 dated 12.5.1998, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC read with Section 120-B IPC alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioner-Nirmal Singh. The petition is disposed of. May 26, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
