CRM No. M-32666 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-32666 of 2008 Date of decision: 16.01.2009 Surjit Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present:- Mr. T.P.S. Bhatti, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab for respondent No.1. Dr. Naresh Kaushik, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.83 dated 22nd April, 2008, under Section 420 IPC, registered at Police Station Phillaur, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. She is duly identified by her counsel. She has filed an affidavit, admitting therein the factum of com promise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between the parties. She states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the CRM No. M-32666 of 2008 2 matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising thereof are quashed.
