Misc No. M-28148 of 2008 (O&M) -2- petitioner No. 1 and respondent No. 2 have compromised the matter and they are now living together peacefully and happily. The complainant/respondent No. 2 has further stated that she has no interest in pursuing the FIR in question and thus the same be quashed. Counsel for the parties have also referred to the compromise deed, Annexure P-2 to highlight the terms of compromise. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR(Crl.), 1052. Resultantly the present petition is allowed, the FIR in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 06.02.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
