U.T Chandigarh and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Gaurav Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Jasdeep Singh, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** RAJESH BINDAL J. The prayer made in this present petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short `the Code') is for quashing of FIR No.101 dated 14.3.2007 registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 325, 382 IPC at Police Station, Sector 17, Chandigarh. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the dispute between the parties has been settled amicably by way of compromise which has been placed on record as Annexure P-1. Once that is so the FIR in question registered against the petitioners be quashed. Reliance has been placed upon a five Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. The facts stated by the petitioners are not disputed by counsel for respondents No.2. Reply on behalf of respondent No.2 has been filed in which the complainant has admitted the contents of the petition filed by the petitioner and stated that he has no objection in case the FIR in question is quashed in view of the compromise Annexure P.1. Once the matter has been compromised between the parties, no useful purpose will be served by proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, considering the law laid down by this Court in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), FIR No.101 dated 14.3.2007 registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 325, 382 IPC at Police Station, Sector 17, Chandigarh and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly. March 18, 2008 ( RAJESH BINDAL ) renu JUDGE
