(ORAL) The present petition has been filed for quashing of FIR by Gian Kaur wife of Ajaib Singh, Balbir Singh son of Ajaib Singh and Sarabjit Kaur wife of Amrik Singh. They have been named as accused in FIR No.316 dated 1.8.2005 registered at Police Station Sadar, Hoshiarpur under Sections 363, 366, 120-B IPC. A compromise has been projected on the basis of affidavit Annexure P-2 submitted by the complainant. Complainant had lodged an FIR against the accused on the ground that his daughter Gurmit Kaur had been abducted by the accused. In the affidavit Annexure P-2, it has been stated that on the intervention of Crl.Misc.No.M-31545 of 2008 [2] respectables and relatives, a compromise has been effected. Complainant is present in Court. He has been identified by his counsel Mr.A.P.Kaushal and HC Balbir Kumar of Police Station Sadar, Hoshiarpur who is also present in Court. Complainant has stated that he had married his daughter and continuation of proceedings may affect the matrimonial life of his daughter Gurmit Kaur. He has prayed that present FIR be quashed. It has been held in Kulwinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 that where a compromise has been effected between the parties, continuation of proceedings will serve no useful purpose. In the present case, Gurmit Kaur had been married. The complainant has rightly stated that proceedings be quashed as continuation of same may affect matrimonial life of Gurmit Kaur. Further more, accused and complainant are neighbourers. The compromise has been arrived at between the parties to promote amity, harmony and cordial relations. In view of the ratio of law laid down by the Full Bench in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra) and statement made by the complainant, the impugned FIR along with all consequent proceedings is quashed. Petition stands disposed off. ( KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA ) January 15, 2008. JUDGE RC
