This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No. 49 dated 1.5.2008 under Sections 452, 354 IPC, registered at Police Station Nangal, District Ropar, on the basis of compromise dated 9.5.2010 (Annexure P-3) The petitioner was tried for offence under Sections 452 and 354 IPC and was convicted vide judgment dated 15.4.2010.

No. M-15074 of 2010 -2- Original compromise has also been filed in Court today. The dispute is personal in nature, which has been settled. Counsel for the petitioner has relied upon authority reported as Satya Narain vs. State of Haryana 2009 (3) RCR (Criminal) 97, wherein this Court has held that compromise can be allowed in non- compoundable offences, even after conviction. So, in view of the above, the compromise stands accepted and in view of authority in Satya Narain's (Supra) and authority reported as Kulwinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, the judgment of the trial Court stands set aside. The accused-petitioner stands acquitted and the abovesaid FIR stands quashed. Further proceedings, in pursuant to that FIR also stand quashed. ( K.C. Puri ) 17.9.2010 Judge chugh
