JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Suresh Kumar and Jagjit Singh, petitioners (in person). Mr. Jaswinder Singh, respondent No. 2 (in person) Head Constable, Sukhpal Singh. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 94 dated 05.06.2008 registered under Sections 148/380/427/451/506/149 IPC at Police Station Garshankar, District Hoshiarpur (Annexure P-1) and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). Both the petitioners as well as respondent No. 2 are present in person. Respondent No. 2 has filed his reply in the court today and the same is taken on record. In support of his identification, he has placed on record a photocopy of the identity card issued by Election Commission of India. The same is duly attested by him and is taken on record as Mark 'A'. In the reply it has been stated that petitioners and respondent No. 2 have compromised the matter. Respondent No. 2 has further stated that he has no objection if the FIR and all consequential proceedings be quashed. Crl. Misc No. M-20726 of 2009 2 The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom 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 in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom stand quashed. 15.09.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
