Mr.Yashpal Malik, AAG, Haryana, for respondent No.1. Mr.Jainainder Saini, Advocate, for respondent No.2-complainant. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (Oral) The present petition has been preferred praying for quashing of F.I.R.No.188 dated 26.8.2006 registered under Sections 406/420 IPC at Police Station Uklana, District Hissar, on the basis of a complaint filed by Satbir Bhatt-respondent No.2. The quashing in the above-mentioned FIR is being sought on the ground that a compromise has been entered into between the petitioner- Naresh Kumar and complainant-Satbir Bhatt. Affidavit of complainant- Satbir Bhatt dated 1.12.2008 has been placed on record as Annexure P-2. Relying upon the said affidavit, counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of the compromise entered into between the parties, the above- mentioned FIR may be quashed. Crl.Misc.No.M-131 of 2009 -2- Reply on behalf of respondent No.2 has been filed in Court today in which respondent No.2-Satbir Bhatt (complainant) has accepted the factum of compromise entered into between the parties besides filing of an affidavit dated 1.12.2008 (Annexure P-2). Complainant-Satbir Bhatt, who is present in Court and has been identified by his counsel, has stated that he has entered into a compromise with the petitioner and has no objection to the prayer of the petitioner for quashing of the above-mentioned FIR. In view of the above facts and keeping in view the Full Bench judgment of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by allowing the proceedings to continue on the basis of an FIR which was got registered by the complainant-Satbir Bhatt, which has ended into a compromise between him and the petitioner-Naresh Kumar. Since the parties have amicably settled to resolve the differences which existed between them by way of a compromise, the present petition is allowed. FIR No.188 dated 26.8.2006 registered under Sections 406/420 IPC at Police Station, Uklana, District Hissar (Annexure P-1) is hereby quashed. It goes without saying that all consequential proceedings arising out of the FIR shall also stand quashed. July 10, 2009 ( AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) poonam JUDGE
