Ms. Bhavna Gupta, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. G.S.Rawat, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant in CRM No.M-32080 of 2010. for the petitioners in CRM No.M-32082 of 2010. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) CRM No.M-32080 of 2010 Both the aforementioned petitions have been filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No.182 dated 03.08.2010 under Sections 323/324/326/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Jalandhar and cross-version in the said FIR alongwith all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P1, having been entered into between the parties. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that both the parties belong to same family and are closely related and dispute between them has since been settled due to intervention of respectable persons of the family and relatives from both the sides. It is further contended that it is a case of version and cross-version and that main FIR is against the petitioners in Crl.Misc.No.M-32082 of 2010. A case has also been registered against respondent-complainant on the basis of cross version given by the petitioners. Both the parties were directed to appear before learned trial Court. Learned trial Court after recording their statements has reported that the compromise has been genuinely effected between the parties. 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 2 CRM No.M-32080 of 2010 respectable persons of the family and relatives, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, who are closely related, both the petitions are allowed and the impugned FIR No.182 dated 03.08.2010 under Sections 323/324/326/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Jalandhar and cross- version in the said FIR alongwith all consequential proceedings qua – Sat Pal, Rajinder Kumar, Sukhjit Kumar, Varinder Kumar, Sukhwinder Kaur and Jatinder Kumar is, hereby, quashed. Both the petitions disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) December 13, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3
