CRM No.M-33841 of 2010 Reply filed on behalf of respondent No.2-complainant is taken on record. 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 the parties are immediate neighbours and that dispute between them has since been settled due to intervention of respectable persons of the locality and relatives from both the sides. It is further stated that the case is at the preliminary stage. Respondent No.2 – complainant also appeared in person through his counsel and admitted the factum of compromise stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. 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 of the locality and relatives, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, who are immediate neighbours, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No._ 89 dated 15.08.2010 under Sections 455/427/506 IPC, registered at Police Station Ghuman, Police District Batala, District Gurdaspur, Annexure P1 alongwith all consequential proceedings qua petitioner –Maninder Singh is, hereby, quashed. 2 CRM No.M-33841 of 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) December 13, 2010.
