Respondent No.2 states that he has effected compromise Annexure P-1 with petitioner and others, and therefore, he has no objection if the FIR is quashed. In appropriate cases, FIR can be Criminal Misc. No.M-7805 of 2011 -2- quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr. P. C., even if the offences are not compoundable.
