CRM No. M-34434 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-34434 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 5.3.2009 Balwinder Singh & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. D.R. Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. B.S. Mann, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners and the respondent No.2 (complainant), who are stated to be related to each other, have preferred this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.94 dated 30th October, 2008, under Sections 336, 323, 148, 149-B IPC, registered at Police Station Sahana, District Barnala and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the CRM No. M-34434 of 2008 2 matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is 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.
