Sudhar, District Ludhiana, Annexure P1, and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2, having been entered into between the parties. CRM No.M-7925 of 2010 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that both the parties are closely related and that dispute has since been settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives. Respondent No.2 – complainant also appeared in person with her counsel and filed reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that she is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. It has been stated by learned State counsel, on instruction from ASI. Sukhwinder Singh, that the matter has been compromised between the parties. In appropriate cases FIR 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 Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of the respectable persons and relatives, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 114, dated 18.09.2009 under Sections 409/420/467/468/471 and 120-B IPC IPC registered at P.S.
