No. 50803-M of 2007 Date of decision January 29, 2008 Balwinder Kaur .....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Amit Jaiswal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. J.S.Bhullar, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab for respondent no.1. None for respondent no.2 RAJESH BINDAL, J. The prayer made in this petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure ( for short “the Code”) is for quashing of FIR No. 371 dated June 20, 2006 registered under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC at Police Station Sadar, Patiala and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise entered into between the parties. Notice of motion was issued and service of respondent no.2 is complete. However, no one has appeared for respondent No.2-complainant to dispute the facts stated in the present petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per compromise entered into between the parties, which is placed on record as Annexure P-2, in lieu of the land agreed to be sold by the petitioner, another land was given to respondent no.2 and he was satisfied with that. Reliance has been placed upon a five Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab 2007 (3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. Once the parties have already compromised the dispute, no Criminal Misc. No. 50803-M of 2007 -2- *** useful purpose will be served in proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, considering the law laid down by this Court in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), FIR No. 371 dated June 20, 2006 registered under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC at Police Station Sadar, Patiala and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly. January 29, 2008 (Rajesh Bindal) Pka Judge
