IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc. 12813-M of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : AUGUST 5, 2008 SATNAM SINGH AND OTHERS ...... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. ..... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. RK Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. KS Sidhu, DAG (P). Mr. AK Khunger, Advocate, for respondent No.2. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, for quashing of FIR No.344 dated 4.12.2007, under Sections 406, 420, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Phillaur, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) and all consequent proceedings. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that there arose a dispute between respondent No.2/complainant-Amandeep Kaur and the petitioners. The petitioners had accepted money on the pretext that the complainant would be sent abroad. Neither the complainant was sent abroad nor the money was returned and, hence, the FIR was lodged. Now, with the intervention of the respectables, the matter has Criminal Misc. 12813-M of 2008 2 been settled. The money has been returned to the complainant. An affidavit has been filed by the complainant, sworn on 5.8.2008, wherein the fact that a compromise has been effected, has been endorsed. It has been clearly stated that the complainant has no objection if the FIR and subsequent proceedings are quashed. Having regard to the statement of complainant-respondent No.2 and the fact that, seemingly, it was only a commercial transaction, the petition is allowed. FIR (Annexure P-1) along with all subsequent proceedings is quashed. August 5, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
