(ORAL) First Information Report (for short 'FIR') No.4 was registered under Sections 323, 325, 427, 452 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') against the petitioners on January 2nd, 2009 in Police Station Sector 5, District Panchkula (Annexure P-1) and they have sought quashing thereof under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Quashing has been sought on the grounds that after registration of the case, parties have compromised the matter with the intervention of the respectables. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) has been placed on record. Respondent No.2 has tendered his affidavit in this regard and added that he has no objection if the aforesaid FIR and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Indeed, the offences, for which the petitioners are facing trial, are non-compoundable. Notwithstanding that, there can not be any embargo in allowing the parties to compromise the matter in view of the law laid down by the Five Judge Bench's decision of this Court rendered in Kulwinder Singh & others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052. By quashing the FIR, the parties will be able to co-exist Criminal Misc.

In view of above, the petition is accepted, FIR No.4 dated January 2nd, 2009, under Sections 323, 325, 427, 452 and 506 IPC, Police Station Sector 5, District Panchkula (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 31.10.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
