Amritsar under Sections 326, 324, 323, 452, 34 IPC. A cross version by way of complaint was instituted by Santokh Singh father of Amandeep Crl.Misc.No.M-3354 of 2009 [2] Singh in the Court of Illaqa Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar by way of Complaint Annexure P-1 bearing RBT Complaint No.40 dated 4.1.2003. Accused was summoned in pursuance of complaint Annexure P1 to stand trial. In case FIR No.154 dated 4.10.2002 registered at Police Station Kathunangal, Amandeep Singh, Santokh Singh and Kashmir Kaur were named as accused. In the complaint case Santokh Singh had arrayed Sukhdev Singh, Udham Singh, Nishan Singh, Gurmit Kaur, Jagir Kaur and Sharanjit Kaur as accused. Criminal Misc.No.M-3354 of 2009 has been filed seeking quashing of complaint instituted by Santokh Singh, whereas Criminal Misc.No.M-3725 of 2009 has been filed by Amandeep Singh and others seeking quashing of FIR No.154 dated 4.10.2002 lodged at the instance of Gurmit Kaur. Gurmit Kaur and Amandeep Singh are present in Court. Amandeep Singh has been identified by his counsel Mr.H.S.Batth. Gurmit Kaur has been identified by her counsel Mr.Anupam Bhardwaj. It is a case of version and cross version. It has been stated that parties have arrived at compromise. Both Amandeep Singh and Gurmit Kaur have stated that due to intervention of members of Gram Panchayat and respectables of the village, a compromise has been arrived. They do not want to proceed with the complaint case and case arising out of the FIR. It has been held in Kulwinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 that where a compromise has been effected between the parties, continuation of criminal proceedings will serve no useful purpose. Therefore, the complaint instituted by Santokh Singh and the impugned FIR lodged by Gurmit Kaur Crl.Misc.No.M-3354 of 2009 [3] along with all subsequent proceedings are quashed. Petitions are disposed off. ( KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA ) February 17, 2008. JUDGE RC
