Petitioners Versus The State of Haryana & another ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K. SHARMA Present : Mr. H.S. Bhullar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. A.K. Gupta, Addl. A.G., Haryana for respondent No.1. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Advocate for Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** VINOD K. SHARMA, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No. 451 dated 3.9.2005 under Sections 406 / 498-A/ 323/504/506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Karnal and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. The parties are present in Court. The factum of compromise is not disputed. In view of the law laid down by the Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, this Court is competent to quash the CRM-M-21138 of 2009 2 proceeding on the basis of compromise. The Court while considering the question of quashing criminal proceedings can take into consideration the special features which appear in a particular case to consider whether it is expedient and in the interest of justice to permit prosecution to continue. This is for the reasons that the Court cannot be utilized for any oblique purpose. Where in the opinion of the Court chances of an ultimate conviction are bleak then no useful purpose is likely to be served by allowing a criminal prosecution to continue. Taking this special circumstance into consideration the Court can always quash the proceedings at any stage. In view of the compromise having been entered into between the parties, there remains no chances of conviction. Consequently, this petition is allowed. The FIR No. 451 dated 3.9.2005 under Sections 406 /498-A/ 323/504/506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Karnal and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are ordered to be quashed. 13.8.2009 ( VINOD K.
