Mr.P.M.Anand, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. for respondent no.1. Mrs.Jaswinder Kaur Jolly respondent no.2 in person. R.S.Madan, J. (oral) By moving this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioners have prayed for the quashing of FIR No.9 dated 19.1.2006 registered with Police Station, Bahadurgarh City, District Jhajjar, under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC, and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. This FIR was lodged by respondent no.2 against the petitioners. It is contended by the learned counsel for the parties that the parties have compromised the matter. Respondent no.2 is no more interested in proceeding with the case registered against the petitioners and she has no objection if the FIR in question and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Parties are present in peson. Respondent no.2 Smt. Jaswinder Kaur Jolly admits the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. Photostat copy of the compromise-deed is also placed on the record as Annexure P2. The compromise is for the benefit of the parties and it will also give a chance to the parties to live in peace and harmony. Reference is made to Full Bench judgment reported as Kulwinder Singh and Criminal Misc. No.8261/M of 2008 -2- ****** others vs State of Punjab and another 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, wherein this court has allowed the parties to compromise the matter in a non-compundable offence (s) so that they may not have to undergo the turmoil of trial. The relevant part of the judgment is as under:- “The compromise, in a modern society, is the sine qua non of harmony and orderly behaviour. It is the soul of justice and if the power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. is used to enhance such a compromise which, in turn, enhances the social amity and reduces friction, then it truly is “finest hours of justice”. Disputes which have their genesis in a matrimonial discord, landlord- tenant matters, commercial transactions and other such matters can safely be dealt with by the Court by exercising its powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. in the event of a compromise, but this is not to say that the power is limited to such cases. There can never be any such rigid rule to prescribe the exercise of such power, especially in the absence of any premonitions to forecast and predict eventualities which the cause of justice may throw up during the course of a litigation.” For the reasons recorded above, the petition is allowed and FIR No.9 dated 19.1.2006 registered with Police Station, Bahadurgarh City, District Jhajjar, under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC, and also the subsequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioners. 6.5.2008 (R.S.Madan) vs. Judge.
