It has been stated in the reply that respondents no.2 to 4 have no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR in view of compromise effected by them with the petitioner. Learned counsel for respondents no.2 to 4 also makes similar statement. Respondents no.3 and 4 are also present in person in the Court, as identified by their counsel and they also state that they have no objection to the quashing of FIR in view of compromise. 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 has been so held by a Full Bench of this Court in case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab reported as 2007 (3) Law Herald (Punjab and Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, compromise has been effected with the intervention of respectables. Respondent no.3 states that he has been compensated by the petitioner. It is, therefore, a fit case in which FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and impugned FIR No. 125 dated 28.04.2009, under Sections 279, 337, 338, 427 IPC, registered at Police Station City, Tehsil Abohar, District Ferozepur (Annexure P-1) is quashed, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
