No. M-17188 of 2011 (O&M) Decided on : 29-09-2011 Darshan Singh and another ....Petitioners VERSUS State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr.S.Sandhu, Advocate for Mr. S.P.S.Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioners Mr.B.B.S.Teji, Sr. DAG, Punjab Mr. V.K.Gupta, Advocate for respondents no. 2 and 3 MAHESH GROVER, J This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure praying for quashing of FIR no. 200 dated 7.10.2006 registered under Sections 186/353/332 IPC at Police Station Division no.7, Ludhiana and all consequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners that during the pendency of the proceedings pursuant to the FIR, the parties have resolved their differences amicably and in view of this, they do not wish to pursue with the litigation any further. On 15.7.2011, this Court directed the parties to appear before the Trial Court and get their statements recorded in support of their claim that the matter has been compromised. The Trial Court was also directed to send the report about the factum of compromise and also the fact that such statements were not result of any undue pressure or coercion. Crl. Misc. No. M-17188 of 2011 (O&M) 2 Report has since been received from the concerned Court in the connected case and according to it, petitioners as well as respondents no. 2 and 3 have appeared and got recorded their statements on their own free will in support of their compromise. In view of the above facts and also the fact that the allegations in the FIR apparently stem from some agitation that was going on and the possibility of exaggerating the incident cannot be ruled out and also keeping in view the observations of Full Bench in Kulwinder Singh versus State of Punjab 2007 (3) Law Herald 2225, the instant petition is allowed. Consequently, FIR no. 200 dated 7.10.2006 registered under Sections 186/353/332 IPC at Police Station Division no.7, Ludhiana and all consequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
