PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Sunil Chadha, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Satish Bhanot, Addl.AG, Punjab. Mr. Dinesh Trehan, Advocate, for respondent No.2. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) 1 This petition has been filed under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, praying for quashing of FIR No.370 dated 19.10.2001 under Sections 406, 420, 506, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Focal Point, Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings, on the basis of compromise dated 12.9.2011 (Annexure P-2). 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that there was a dispute in regard to a house. The house has, now, reverted back to complainant/respondent No.2 and, therefore, all her civil rights have been settled, to her entire satisfaction. 3 Respondent No.2-Smt.Surinder Dhir, as identified by her counsel Shri Dinesh Trehan, Advocate, as also by HC Criminal Misc. No.28371 -M of 2011 (O&M) 2 Jaswinder Singh, is present in court and states that, indeed, all the disputes have been settled. Respondent No.2 does not, now, have any grievance against the petitioners. 4 Learned counsel for the respondent-State contends that because the disputes have been settled by way of compromise, the State would have no objection to the quashing of the FIR. 5 I have taken note of the fact that the petitioners and respondent No.2 are residents of the same locality and want to live in peace and harmony. It would be in the interest of peace and harmony to quash the proceedings also because civil rights of respondent No.2 have been settled and she does not want to prosecute the petitioners. 6 The petition is, accordingly, allowed. 7 FIR No.370 dated 19.10.2001 under Sections 406, 420, 506, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Focal Point, Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings, are hereby quashed. 8 Original sale deed has been handed over to respondent No.2 in court by Shri Sunil Chadha, Advocate, counsel for the petitioners.
