Crl. Misc. No. M-704 of 2010 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-704 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: 25.2.2010 Inderjeet Singh ..........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & Anr. ..........Respondents BEFORE:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. Kunal Dawar, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. P.S. Paul, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. The petitioner has filed the present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 80 dated 18.8.2005 registered under Sections 323/341/452/506/148/149 IPC at Police Station Morinda, District Ropar along with all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 24.4.2007, which is annexed as Annexure P-2 with the petition. Affidavit of complainant-Gursewak Singh son of Karam Singh has been filed in Court today and the same is taken on record. Both the parties are present in Court and have been identified by their respective counsel. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the aforesaid FIR qua nine co-accused has already been quashed by this Court on 28.1.2008 in Crl. Misc. No. M-29919 of 2007 (Bhupinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab and another). Petitioner as well as respondent No.2 state that a compromise Crl. Misc. No. M-704 of 2010 (2) has arrived at between them and the same is annexed as Annexure P-2 with the petition. In view of the statement made by the parties, no purpose will be served if the case is tried because as per the compromise respondent No.2 will not support the case and it will be a wastage of precious time of this Court. It has been observed by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Mrs. Shakuntala Sawhney Vs. Mr. Kaushalya Sawhney and others 1980 (1) SCC 63 that “the finest Hour of Justice arrives propitiously when the parties, despite following apart bury the hatchet and weave a sense of fellowship of reunion.” Relying on the views adopted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the Five Judges Bench of this Court also observed in Kulwinder Singh Versus State of Punjab, RCR 2007 (3) 1052 that compounding of offence which are not compoundable under Section 320(9) Cr.P.C. but parties entering into compromise, this Court has the power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to allowing compounding of non-compoundable offences and quash the prosecution where the Court felt that the same was required to prevent the abuse of any Court or to otherwise secure the ends of justice. The present one is a case covered by the views observed by Hon'ble the Supreme Court of India in the judgment mentioned above and, is therefore, a fit case to quash the FIR. In view of the above, FIR No. 80 dated 18.8.2005 registered under Sections 323/341/452/506/148/149 IPC at Police Station Morinda, District Ropar along with all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom is quashed. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. February 25, 2010 (DAYA CHAUDHARY) pooja JUDGE Crl. Misc. No. M-704 of 2010 (3) Note:-Whether this case is to be referred to the Reporter .......Yes/No
