Criminal Misc. No. M-21702 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-21702 of 2009 Date of decision: October 13, 2009 Shejpal Singh @ Laddi -Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others -Respondents Coram Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. Chaman Lal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Ms. SK Rathaur, Advocate, for the complainant. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 195 dated 12-9-2007 under Sections 452,323,506 IPC, registered at police station Rajpura, (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No. 2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit in Court today ( taken on record as Mark 'A') admitting therein the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned State counsel submits that since the parties have arrived at an amicable settlement, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the Criminal Misc. No. M-21702 of 2009 2 matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of a Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR ( Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. [Rajan Gupta] Judge October 13, 2009.
