Criminal Misc.No. M-5327 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No. M-5327 of 2010 Date of decision:- 21.05.2010 Amit Nayyar and others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. Vipul Dharmani, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab. Mr. Sahil Kaushal, Advocate for respondent No.2. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of FIR No.119 dated 12.09.2009, under Sections 498-A and 406 IPC, registered at Police Station Division No.1, Jullundhar, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and that the same has been amicably settled between the parties due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. It has further been contended that pursuant to the compromise, petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 have already sought divorce by filing petition for divorce by mutual consent. Respondent No.2- complainant also appeared through counsel and filed his short 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. 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 Criminal Misc.No. M-5327 of 2010 -2- are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, keeping in view the fact that the dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and the same has been settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.119 dated 12.09.2009, under Sections 498-A and 406 IPC, registered at Police Station Division No.1, Jullundhar, District Jalandhar alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioners Amit Nayyar, Anil Nayyar and Nisha Nayyar. The petition is disposed of. May 21, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
