Mr.S.C.Chhabra, Advocate, for respondent No.2-complainant. ***** PRITAM PAL, J(ORAL): The aforesaid two petitions have been filed by the petitioners Ajit Singh and Gurmail Singh for quashing arise out of the one and the same i.e. F.I.R. No.221 dated 16.09.2006 under Sections 420, 465, 468, 471 of I.P.C. registered at Police Station Dharamkot, District Moga, therefore, both the petitions are being disposed of by this common order. Without going into any further details, suffice it to say that the aforesaid case was registered at the instance of Malkiat Singh respondent Criminal Misc.No.M-3371 of 2009 of(O&M) -2- No.2-complainant, who is present in the Court today and identified by his counsel Sh.S.C.Chhabra, Advocate. On the asking of the Court, Sh.Malkiat Singh respondent No.2-complainant states that he has already arrived at compromise with the petitioners and further states that this case was registered due to mis-understanding between the parties. It is further stated that Malkiat Singh respondent No.2-complainant is a producer of agricultural crop and used to sell the same to the petitioners, who are his commission agent. The matter has been settled amicably with the intervention of the respectable and common relations. In this regard, compromise affidavit dated 22.12.2008 of Malkiat Singh respondent No.2- complainant (Annexure P1) has also been placed on the file. In the given facts and circumstances, this Court feels that no useful purpose would be served if the proceedings in the case in hand are allowed to continue. Moreover, it would also be in the interest of peace and harmony between the parties to close the chapter of this case. In the result, both the petitions succeed and consequently F.I.R. No.221 dated 16.09.2006 under Sections 420, 465, 468, 471 of I.P.C. registered at Police Station Dharamkot, District Moga and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby ordered to be quashed, qua both the petitioners namely Ajit Singh and Gurmail Singh.
