Crl. Misc. No. M-34920 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-34920 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 22.12.2010 Bahadur Singh & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. H.S. Dhindsa, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. J.S. Sandhu, AAG, Punjab. Mr. Ashish Grover, Advocate for respondent No.4. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.37 dated 20th May, 2010 (Annexure P-1/T) under Sections 323, 324, 447, 511, 427, 506, 511, 148, 149 IPC and 326 IPC (added later on), registered at police station Koom Kalan, District Ludhiana and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2/T) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.4 is present in court. She is duly identified by her counsel. She has filed an affidavit in court today, which is taken on record as Mark 'A', wherein the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties has been admitted. She states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned State counsel submits that since the parties have Crl. Misc. No. M-34920 of 2010 2 arrived at an amicable settlement, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. 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 deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of a 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 and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 22.12.2010 'rajpal'
