CRM No. M-28855 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-28855 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 19.01.2009 Dharam Pal and others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Amandeep Kaur Dhiman, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. B.S. Sra, DAG, Punjab for respondent No.1. Mr. Abhishek, Advocate, for the complainant. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.151 dated 28th May, 2008, under Sections 326, 324, 341, 342, 148, 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Kharar, District SAS Nagar, Mohali and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-1 & P-2) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit, Mark-A, admitting therein the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 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, which CRM No. M-28855 of 2008 2 would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings 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 and the subsequent proceedings arising thereof are quashed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 19.01.2009 'rajpal'
