(Oral) : Rahul Manocha has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) for quashing FIR No. 215 dated 12.05.2009, under Sections 406, 420 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Sector 5, Panchkula (Annexure P- 1), in view of compromise dated 08.06.2009 (Annexure P-2) effected with complainant-respondent no.2, who has also furnished his affidavit (Annexure P-4) regarding the compromise. Reply on behalf of respondent no.1 – State of Haryana filed today in Court by learned State counsel is taken on record. Copy given to Crl. Misc. No. M-17563 of 2009 2 the opposite counsel. Reply on behalf of respondent no.2 has already been filed wherein the factum of compromise between the parties and receipt of due amount of Rs.1,40,000/- from the petitioner has been admitted and it has also been stated by respondent no.2 that he has no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR. Learned counsel for respondent no.2 also states that in view of compromise, respondent no.2 has 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 has been so held by a Full Bench of this Court in case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab reported as 2007 (3) Law Herald (Punjab and Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, the impugned FIR was result of dispute over financial transaction. Grievance of complainant-respondent no.2 has since been satisfied and due amount of Rs.1,40,000/- has since been paid to him by the petitioner. Respondent no.2 is thus left with no grievance against the petitioner. It is, therefore, a fit case in which FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and impugned FIR No. 215 dated 12.05.2009, under Sections 406, 420 IPC, registered at Police Station Sector 5, Panchkula (Annexure P-1) is quashed, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
