I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record. CRM No.M-18325 of 2009 It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that dispute between the parties has since been compromised and that claim of complainant has been satisfied due to intervention of respectable persons. Affidavit of respondent No.2 – complainant has been filed. Respondent No.2 – complainant also appeared in person with her counsel admitting the factum of compromise and stating that she is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed qua petitioner as the matter has been compromised. Reply on behalf of State has also been placed on record stating that compromise has been effected between the complainant and petitioner and she intends to withdraw the case. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of the respectable persons, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 75, dated 17.02.2009, registered under Sections 406/420 IPC at Police Station Division No.6, Jalandhar alongwith all consequential proceedings qua petitioner – Rajiv Walia is, hereby, quashed.
