Crl. Misc. No. M-2672 of 2010 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-2672 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: 3.3.2010 Navdeep Singh & Anr. ..........Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & Ors. ..........Respondents BEFORE:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. BD Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. B.S. Sra, Addl. A.G., Punjab. Mr. Rajiv Joshi, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 412 dated 8.12.2009 registered under Sections 452,427,323,506 and 34 IPC at Police Station Maqsudan, Jalandhar, on the basis of compromise annexed as Annexure P-1 with the petition. Pursuant to the notice issued on 29.1.2010, reply on behalf of Smt. Surinder Kaur-respondent No.2 has been filed in Court today and the same is taken on record. Smt. Surinder Kaur-respondent No.2 is also present in Court, who has been identified by his counsel. She has specifically stated that a compromise has been arrived between the parties and she has no objection if the aforesaid FIR is quashed. In view of the statement made by respondent No.2, no purpose Crl. Misc. No. M-2672 of 2010 (2) will be served if the case is tried because as per the compromise respondent No.2 will not support the case and it will be a wastage of precious time of this Court. It has been observed by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Mrs. Shakuntala Sawhney Vs. Mr. Kaushalya Sawhney and others 1980 (1) SCC 63 that “the finest Hour of Justice arrives propitiously when the parties, despite following apart bury the hatchet and weave a sense of fellowship of reunion.” Relying on the views adopted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the Five Judges Bench of this Court also observed in Kulwinder Singh Versus State of Punjab, RCR 2007 (3) 1052 that compounding of offence which are not compoundable under Section 320(9) Cr.P.C. but parties entering into compromise, this Court has the power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to allowing compounding of non-compoundable offences and quash the prosecution where the Court felt that the same was required to prevent the abuse of any Court or to otherwise secure the ends of justice. The present one is a case covered by the views observed by Hon'ble the Supreme Court of India in the judgment mentioned above and, is therefore, a fit case to quash the FIR. In view of the above, FIR No. 412 dated 8.12.2009 registered under Sections 452,427,323,506 and 34 IPC at Police Station Maqsudan, Jalandhar is quashed. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of.
