Learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for respondents No.2 to 4 submit that in view of compromise, the impugned FIR deserves to be quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of compromise the State will not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR in question. The compromise is in the interest of parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served by continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom deserve to be quashed in light of Full Bench judgment of this court in Kulwinder Singh & others vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the petition is allowed. The FIR in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. September 29, 2011 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE 2
