Mr. Dheeraj Inderjit Singh, Advocate, for respondent No.2. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, for quashing of FIR No.96 dated 28.5.2008, under Sections 452, 380, 323, 324, 427, 506, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Chheharta. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that an incident took place in the market. Respondent No.2-complainant was wrongly informed that the petitioners were the assailants. On realising that it was not so, the matter is sought to be resolved by way of compromise and, therefore, prayer made for quashing is common of the petitioners and respondent No.2. Respondent No.2-Complainant/Jagdeep Singh, as identified by Shri Dheeraj Inderjit Singh, Advocate, is present in Court and Criminal Misc. 18587-M of 2008 2 states that he does not want to pursue the proceedings. He shall not be bringing any evidence before the court for prosecuting the petitioners. The factum of compromise has also been endorsed by the learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from ASI Harbhajan Singh of Police Station, Chheharta. The parties have stated that they live in the same locality and would not like to live under strained relations. In the interest of justice, harmony and peace, the FIR be quashed. Even the challan has not been filed. Having regard to the stage of the case, facts and circumstances given hereinabove and the statement of complainant- respondent No.2, the petition is allowed. FIR No.96 dated 28.5.2008, Police Station, Chheharta, under Sections 452, 280, 323, 324, 427, 506, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Chheharta, is quashed.
