The petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.244 dated 12.11.2009 registered under Sections 323/324/326/452/34 IPC, at Police Station Nakodar, District Jalandhar. In this incident, Manni- respondent No.3 and Satbir-respondent No.4 (Petitioner Nos.2 & 3 respectively in Crl. Misc. No.M-30408 of 2011) were also injured and have, thus, been joined as party-respondent in Crl. Misc. No.M- 30407 of 2011 seeking quashing on the basis of a compromise. A perusal of FIR would show that Tarsem Lal- respondent No.2, who is petitioner No.1 in cross case, was working in Idea Company. On 11.11.2009, while he along with his brother, who is J.E., returned to their house and while standing with their Crl. Misc. No. M-30407 of 2011(O&M) -2- friend Biru and Bittu, petitioner No.4-Bharti, allegedly came there and started teasing the complainant and his brother. It is alleged that after some time, Bharti armed with Kirpan, Manjit armed with Kirpan, Rajinder armed with Dattar came inside their house and raised lalkara that today lesson be taught to the complainant. Rajinder @ Sonu allegedly gave Dattar blow on the head, whereas Bharti- petitioner No.4 gave blow with Kirpan. The complainant raised his arm to save himself and the second blow hit on his hand. Ranjit gave Dattar blow, which hit on the fingers of the complainant. On the basis of this, the present FIR was registered. The petitioners also came out with their counter version, which was also recorded. The cross case recorded on the statement of Ranjit Kumar, petitioner No.3 herein (respondent No.3 in Crl. Misc. No.30408 of 2011) is to the effect that he after closing his shop going to his house and passing in front of the house of Sunny, he was encircled. On query, he was told that he was found urinating near the plot of his house and so the argument ensued. The abuses then followed and as per the cross-version, this led to fight leading to summoning the respondents etc. The respondents herein also filed a petition seeking quashing of the cross-version. Both the petitions are listed together. With the intervention of the respectable, the petitioners as well as the respondents have settled their dispute amicably. Copy of the compromise is annexed with the petition as Annexure P- 1. The petitioners as well as the complainant are neighbours and now wish to live in peace in future. As per the compromise, they are not left with any grudge against each other. Crl. Misc. No. M-30407 of 2011(O&M) -3- Reliance is placed on the judgment passed by the Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, wherein it is held that all the disputes can be settled by way of compromise to maintain good harmony and peace in the society in the discretion of the Court. The petitioners as well as the complainant are present and have confirmed that they have voluntarily entered into this compromise. They have also undertaken before the Court that they will behave in future and never indulge in such acts of violation in future. Taking all the facts into consideration, the present petitions are allowed. FIR No.244 dated 12.11.2009 registered under Sections 452/323/324/326/34 IPC as well as the cross-version and all subsequent proceedings in both the cases are hereby quashed.
