Mr.Nonish Kumar,Advocate, for respondent No.2/ complainant. Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: (Oral) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, 'Cr.P.C.') for quashing of FIR No.200 dated 18.12.2008, registered under Sections 452,323,427,506,34 IPC at Police Station Sarabha Nagar, District Ludhiana and all subsequent criminal proceedings arising therefrom. The aforesaid FIR has been registered on the complaint of respondent No. 2 which is sought to be quashed on the basis of a compromise between the parties. Notice of motion was issued. Pursuant thereto, Mr.Nonish Kumar,Advocate, has put in appearance on behalf of respondent No.2/ complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the CRM-M 29060 of 2009 -2- matter has been compromised between the parties. Jugraj Singh (petitioner No.1) has been identified by his Advocate Mr.V.K.Gupta while Sanjeev Kumar respondent No2/complainant has been identified by his Advocate Mr.Nonish Kumar. I have asked Sanjeev Kumar complainant about the compromise to which he has stated that the matter has been resolved between the parties and he has no grudge against the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that Sections 323,427/506/34 IPC are compoundable. Only Section 452 IPC is non-compoundable. He relies upon a Full Bench decision of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another 2007 (3) R.C.R (Criminal) 1052 to contend that when the parties have decided to bury the hatchet, even non- compoundable offence can also be compounded. This position is not challenged or disputed by the learned counsel for the respondents. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case that the matter has been amicably resolved, I find it to be a fit case for quashing of FIR. Hence, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.200 dated 18.12.2008, registered under Sections 452,323,427,506 and 34 IPC at Police Station Sarabha Nagar, District Ludhiana and all subsequent criminal proceedings arising there from are hereby quashed. 19.11.2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
