Crl. Misc. No.M-12359 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-12359 of 2011 Date of Decision: 29.08.2011 Gurmail Singh and others ..... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ..... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present: Mr. Surinder Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. J.S. Bhullar, AAG, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Mr. Vijay Lath, Advocate, for respondent Nos.2 to 4. L.N. MITTAL, J. Gurmail Singh and seven othres have filed the instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') for quashing of cross case bearing DDR No.18 dated 27.12.2002 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 323, 325, 148 and 149 IPC in FIR No.284 dated 27.12.2002 (Annexure P-2) registered at Police Station Sadar, Ropar Tehsil and District Ropar, Punjab in view of the compromise (Annexure P-3) effected with respondent Nos.2 to 4 (injured persons including the complainant). Report of the trial Court has been received in the connected case. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 4 on instructions from Crl. Misc. No.M-12359 of 2011 -2- respondent Nos.3 and 4 who are said to be present in person in Court states that parties have effected compromise (Annexure P-3) and, therefore, respondent Nos.2, 3 & 4 have no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR. 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 and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 1052. In the instant case, parties have effected compromise. They want to live with peace. There are cross cases between the parties and both the cross cases are compromised. Accordingly, it is a fit case in which the cross case should be quashed. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned DDR No.18 dated 27.12.2002 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 323, 325, 148 and 149 IPC in FIR No.284 dated 27.12.2002 (Annexure P-2) registered at Police Station Sadar, Ropar Tehsil and District Ropar, Punjab is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
