Mr. Preetpal Singh, APP, for U.T., Chandigarh Mr. V. B. Aggarwal, Advocate for respondent no. 2. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Kulwant Singh and three others have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) for quashing of FIR No.123 dated 15.07.2009, under Sections 323 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Industrial Area, Chandigarh (Annexure P-1), along with all consequential proceedings, in view of compromise (Annexure P-2) effected with injured complainant-respondent no.2, who has also furnished affidavit (Annexure P-3) regarding the compromise. Learned counsel for respondent no.2, on instructions from respondent no.2, who is also present in person in the Court, states that Crl. Misc. No. M-24876 of 2009 2 respondent no.2 has effected compromise (Annexure P-2) with the petitioners and has also furnished affidavit (Annexures P-3) regarding the compromise and therefore, respondent no.2 has no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR. 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, offences are not of serious nature. Only simple hurt has been caused to respondent no.2. Moreover, there was an earlier cross FIR lodged by the petitioner no.1 against respondents no.2. The said case has also been compromised and separate petition bearing Crl. Misc No. M-24856 of 2009 has been filed for quashing of the said FIR, which is also for same offence as in the instant case. It is accordingly a fit case in which FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and impugned FIR No. 123 dated 15.07.2009, under Sections 323 and 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Industrial Area, Chandigarh (Annexure P-1) is quashed, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
