Criminal Misc. No. M-25449 of 2010 This is a petition for quashing of FIR No. 123 dated 16.7.2006 under Sections 279/304-A of the Indian Penal Code registered at Police Station Rangar Nagar, Tehsil Batala, District Gurdaspur on the basis of a compromise arrived at between the parties. Criminal Misc. No. M-25449 of 2010 [2] Learned Addl. Advocate General, Punjab on instructions from the Investigating Officer has accepted the assertion that parties have compromised the matter in dispute. In view of the facts, noticed hereinabove, it is apparent that both the parties have arrived at a bonafide settlement. I am of the opinion that it would be in the interest of justice, as also in the interest of parties, if the present FIR and all subsequent proceedings, emanating therefrom are quashed. It is a fit case where this Court should exercise jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to put an end to these futile criminal proceedings. Even otherwise, a Full Bench of this Court has issued broad guidelines in Kulwinder Singh and others V. State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Crl.) 1052 for quashing of the FIR where parties enter into compromise. Consequently, the present petition is allowed and FIR No. 123 dated 16.7.2006 under Sections 279/304-A of the Indian Penal Code IPC registered at Police Station Rangar Nagar, Tehsil Batala, District Gurdaspur and all subsequent proceedings, emanating therefrom, are quashed.
