I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute is between husband and wife and the same has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons of the locality and relatives from both the sides. Report has also been received from the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hoshiarpur that the compromise has been genuinely effected between the parties. The report has been made after recording the statements of complainant and her father. 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 vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Criminal Misc.No. M- 3762 of 2010 -2- The dispute is between husband and wife and the same has been settled amicably. Hence, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the petition is accepted and FIR No.100 dated 15.8.2009, under Sections 307,506,571 and 309 IPC, registered at Police Station City, Hoshiarpur alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioner Bhupesh Thapa.
