CRM No. M-14529 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-14529 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 28.7.2009 Jagjit Singh and others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. NS Nandiwal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.100 dated 11th May, 2002, under Sections 307, 323, 149 IPC (Sections 365, 325 IPC added later on), registered at Police Station Baghapurana, (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-3) arrived at between the parties. However, the charges were framed under Sections 365, 325, 149, 148 IPC. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed his reply by way of affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-3 ) arrived at between the parties. It has been stated in the affidavit that both the parties are now living together in the same house peacefully. He states that he has no CRM No. M-14529 of 2009 2 objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a compromise, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR. According to the counsel, charges were framed only under Sections 365, 325, 149, 148 IPC. 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 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.
