CRM No. M-5148 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-5148 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 25.03.2009 Gurinder Singh & others ...Petitioners Versus State of U.T. and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.S. Bains, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms. Ashima Mor, Standing counsel for U.T. Mr. Y.S. Dhillon, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.308 dated 16th September, 2004, under Sections 406, 498-A & 120-B, registered at Police Station Sector 36, Chandigarh (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. She is duly identified by her counsel. She has filed an affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. She states that she 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 CRM No. M-5148 of 2009 2 likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings, which 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 therefrom are quashed.
