CRM No.34134 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No.34134 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 01.04.2009 Balwinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Randeep Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Vivek Aggarwal, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.77 dated 2.3.2007, under Sections 406, 498A, 504, 506, 342, 109, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Pehowa (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P2) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. She is duly identified by her counsel. She has filed an affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. She states that her marriage with the petitioner has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce dated 4.11.2008, passed by Additional District Judge, Kurukshetra and now she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. CRM No.34134 of 2008 2 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, which would be a futile exercise. 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.
