Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Deepak Aggarwal, 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. 129 dated 5-7-2000 under Sections 452,336,323,506,34 IPC, read with Sections 25,27,29,54,59 Arms Act registered at police station Lepoke, District Majitha (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Surjit Singh, Complainant/respondent No. 2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit in Court today ( taken on record as Mark 'A') admitting therein the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned State counsel submits that since the parties have arrived at an amicable settlement, the State would not stand in the way of Criminal Misc. No. M-23665 of 2009 2 quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. 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, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of a 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. [Rajan Gupta] Judge October 21, 2009.
