Kulbushan Dhall - respondent No.2/complainant has stated at bar that he has compromised the matter with the petitioners with the intervention of the relatives and friends. Compromise-deed (Annexure P2) has been placed on record. The complainant further states that there is no ill-will left and they want to live in peace and harmony in future. Indeed, the offence, for which the petitioners are facing trial, are non- compoundable. Notwithstanding that, there cannot be any embargo in allowing the parties to compromise the matter in view of the law laid down by the Five Judge Bench's decision of this Court rendered in Kulwinder Singh & others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052. Thus, this Court is also of opinion that no useful purpose would be served by allowing the criminal proceedings to continue against the petitioners. In view of the above, the petition is accepted, FIR No.25 dated June 14th, 2010 (Annexure P1), registered under Sections 380, 411 and 457 IPC in Police Station Daresi, District Ludhiana and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
