Cr Msc 2154/07 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Cr. Msc. Petition No.2154/2007 Kaluram & (3) Ors. Versus State & Deena Date of Order ::: 07/01/08 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Jitendra Mitruka, for petitioners Mr. Amit S.Shekhawat, for respondent No.2 Mr. Arun Sharma, Public Prosecutor Instant petition U/s 482, CrPC has been filed for quashing of FIR-380/07 lodged at PS Kotputli (Jaipur district) for offences U/Ss 420/467/ 468 & 471, IPC, wherein investigation is pending, during which complainant (Deena s/o Suriya Kumhar) and petitioners who belong to same community, after intervention of their respective community members, mutually decided with a view to withdraw criminal complaint and discontinue proceedings pending against petitioners before investigating officer on the premise that compromise has been arrived at between them, in pursuance whereof, they also requested the investigating officer not to prosecute the proceedings any further, but investigating officer has not taken into consider the same rather both the parties are being harassed under the garb of FIR. Vide order dt.10/12/07, this Court directed Cr Msc 2154/07 //2// the parties to remain present so as to obtain their consent for its satisfaction about compromise being amicably arrived at between the parties. Parties are present today and are duly represented by their counsel and both have jointly particularly complainant requested that they have settled their disputes and he does not want to pursue the matter any further. This Court deprecates such practice of first involving police mechanism by lodging reports of criminal offences and thereafter arriving at compromise which results in waste of valuable times of investigating and prosecuting agency and so also the Courts. But, since both the parties in instant case are close relatives belonging to one and same community having relationship with each others and perhaps complaint might have been lodged on a misunderstanding and therefore, despite compromise, if investigation is allowed to continue, still there may be possibility of bitterness in their relations in same community, which is not the intention of legislation. Thus viewed, in light of statement made by Counsel representing their respective parties on having agreed to by virtue of compromise produced Cr Msc 2154/07 //3// before this Court, no purpose will be served to proceed further in the matter. Consequently, the misc. petition stands allowed. Criminal proceedings arising out of FIR- 380/2007 pending before SHO PS Kotpulti (Jaipur District)/investigating officer against petitioners in view of compromise between the parties filed before this Court for offences U/Ss 420/467/468 & 471, IPC are hereby quashed and set aside. A copy of this order alongwith certified copy of compromised filed herein be sent forthwith to the trial Magistrate for compliance. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p.3/2154CrMscP07(320).doc)
