Copy thereof is placed on record as Annexure Criminal Misc. No. 44058-M of 2007 -2- *** P-2. Reliance has been placed upon a five Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab 2007 (3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. The facts stated by the petitioners are not disputed by the learned counsel for respondent no. 2. Respondent no.2-complainant has filed short reply in Court today in which while admitting the factum of compromise, it is stated that he does not want to proceed with the case and he has no objection if the FIR in question is quashed. Once the matter has been compromised between the parties, no useful purpose will be served in proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, considering the law laid down by this Court in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), FIR No. 72 dated November 14, 2005 registered under Sections 323, 325 and 34 IPC at Police Station, Hajipur, District Hoshiarpur and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. The petitions are disposed of accordingly. February 26, 2008 (Rajesh Bindal) Pka Judge
