Criminal Misc. No. M-17782 of 2011(O&M) [2] 2. The FIR was registered on the statement of Kartar Singh, while the cross-version was the outcome of the statement of Surinder Singh. In the incident, both the parties suffered injuries. Both the complainants as also other persons, involved in the incident are present in person. 3. Compromise-deed (Annexure P2) has been placed on the record. Both the parties have stated in unequivocal terms that they have vanished their hatred past to start a new era of peaceful life. There is no ill-will left. Kartar Singh, Surinder Singh, Sukhjit Singh, Jaswinder Kaur, Gurdev Singh, Narinder Singh, Sukhjinder Singh and Gurmeet Singh, who were injured in the incident, have also filed their affidavits (Annexures R1 to R4) on record admitting the compromise. In the circumstances, there should not be any embargo in allowing the parties to compromise the matter in view of the law laid down by the Five Judge Bench's decision of this Court rendered in Kulwinder Singh & others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052. Thus, this Court is also of opinion that no useful purpose would be served by allowing the criminal proceedings to continue against the petitioners. 4. In view of the above, the petitions are accepted, FIR No.27 dated March 30th, 2009 under Sections 323, 324, 452 read with Section 34 IPC, Police Station Sudhar, District Ludhiana as also the cross version under Sections 323, 325 and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
