Mr. Lalit Garg, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioner for quashing of FIR No.270 dated 09.6.2000, under Sections 406, 498-A, 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Derabassi, District Patiala (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. It is further contended that in view of compromise, parties have already taken divorce by mutual consent. Respondent No.2-complainant also appeared through counsel and filed her short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that she is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Criminal Misc.No. M- 9921 of 2010 -2- Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in view of the fact that the dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and that the same has been settled due to intervention of respectable persons, the present petition filed by the petitioner-Satish Kumar is accepted and FIR No.270 dated 09.6.2000, under Sections 406, 498-A, 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Derabassi, District Patiala alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua the petitioner. The petition is disposed of. May 05, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
