JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. Rakesh Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl. A.G., Punjab. Mr. Navjot Singh, Advocate, for respondent no. 2. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) This petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. prays for quashing of FIR bearing No. 36 dated 30.07.2011 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, P.S. Women Cell, District Jalandhar Annexure P-1 on the basis of compromise Annexure P-2. It has been brought out that respondent no. 2-Harpreet Kaur was married to Rakesh Kumar-petitioner no. 3. On account of matrimonial disputes, FIR Annexure P-1 came to be lodged. With the intervention of respectables, the disputes have now been settled. So much so, respondent no. 2 is now living in her matrimonial home with the petitioners and has been properly rehabilitated. Respondent no. 2 has sworn an affidavit on 23.08.2011 to the effect that she has decided to reside with her husband and FIR be quashed. Learned counsel for the respondent-State states that since the Crl. Misc. No. M-25759 of 2011 2 parties have settled their disputes by way of compromise, State would have no objection to quashing of the FIR and proceedings. Considering the stand of respondent no. 2-complainant, who has started living in her matrimonial home, I am of the considered opinion that continuance of investigation and proceedings shall disturb peace and harmony in the matrimonial life of respondent no. 2-complainant. Complainant herself prays for quashing of the FIR In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR bearing No. 36 dated 30.07.2011 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, P.S. Women Cell, District Jalandhar and subsequent proceedings are hereby quashed. 01.09.2011 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2.
