AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.561 dated 10.11.2006 (Annexure P-1) under Section 381 IPC, Police Station, Phase I, Mohali on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). Notice of motion. Mr. Kamaldeep Singh Sidhu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent No.1. Mr. P.S. Togadia, Advocate, who is present in Court, accepts notice on behalf of Crl. Misc. No. M-14508 of 2008 [2] respondent No.2. It has been contended that the petitioner was working in Falak Vision Entertainment Private Limited. There was a dispute whereupon FIR came to be lodged. Now that the dispute has been settled, the parties have entered into a compromise. Compromise deed has been placed on record as Annexure P-2. Learned counsel for respondent No.2- complainant states that indeed the issues have been settled by way of compromise and the complainant does not want to proceed any further with prosecution of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the respondent- State says that if the case is quashed on the basis of compromise, the State would not have any objection. I have considered the issue. As per the compromise, Annexure P-2, all the issues have been settled and it has clearly been stated by the complainant that she does not want to pursue with the prosecution. No legal purpose would be served by continuing with the proceedings. If the matter is disposed of in view of compromise, peace would prevail. Considering the facts and circumstances and also in view of the nature of offence, this petition is allowed. FIR No.561 dated 10.11.2006 (Annexure Crl. Misc. No. M-14508 of 2008 [3] P-1) under Section 381 IPC, Police Station, Phase I, Mohali, is hereby quashed. (AJAI LAMBA) November 21, 2008 JUDGE avin
