Mr. Rajeshwar Singh Thakur, Advocate, for respondent No.2. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.103 dated 26.7.2007 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 354, 452, 34 IPC registered with Police Station, Kahnuwan, District Gurdaspur, on the basis of compromise. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that all the disputes have been settled by way of compromise. Compromise deed has been placed on record as Annexure P-3. Other than this, respondent No.2 – Subh Rani daughter of Wazir Chand is present in Court as identified by learned counsel for respondent No.2. Crl. Misc. No. M-35463 of 2009 [2] On questioning, respondent No.2 clearly states that she has settled all the disputes and does not want to pursue the litigation. Reply has been filed by way of an affidavit of the complainant which is taken on record in which also, it has been stated that compromise, Annexure P-3 has been executed of her free will and consent, and without any pressure. Considering the nature of offence, and the fact that the complainant, who is the victim, is not ready to prosecute the petitioners, no useful purpose would be served by continuance of proceedings against the petitioners, which shall result in abuse of process of Court. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.103 dated 26.7.2007 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 354, 452, 34 IPC registered with Police Station, Kahnuwan, District Gurdaspur and consequent proceedings are hereby quashed.
