Crl. Misc. No. M – 2867 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. Misc. No. M – 2867 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:- 24.8.2010. Makhan Singh etc. ... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & Anr. ... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. Tribhawan Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Raghbir Chaudhary, Sr. DAG, Punjab. Ms. Sushma Chopra, Advocate, for respondent No.2 Gurdev Singh, J (oral) The petitioners – Makhan Singh, Arjan Singh, Surjeet Singh, Pawan Kumar, Gurdev Singh, Tarsem Singh and Kulwant Singh @ Kanta have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing the FIR No. 115, dated 11.6.2006, registered under Sections 307, 324, 447, 148, 323, 427, 511 and 149 IPC, in Police Station Shahkot, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) and all the subsequent proceedings on the basis of the compromise dated 15.12.2009 (Annexure P-2) entered into between them and Jarnail Singh – Respondent No.2 injured and the attorney of the complainant Tejpal Singh. Respondent No.2 appeared in the Court and admitted the factum of the said compromise. Report of the trial Court was called, if the parties have voluntarily entered into a compromise in respect of the offences mentioned in the FIR and same was to be made after recording the Crl. Misc. No. M – 2867 of 2010 (O&M) -2- statements of the parties. Report of the trial Court has been received. It is mentioned therein that the parties have voluntarily entered into the compromise, in the said FIR. No doubt offence under Section 307 IPC is not compoundable yet as was held by Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh & Ors VS. State of Punjab, 2007(3)RCR (Crl) 1052, the parties could have entered into compromise even in respect of those offences which are not compoundable and the FIR can be quashed on the basis thereof. The parties have amicably settled the dispute. To continue with the trial of the petitioner will be a futile exercise as the complainant and these witnesses would not be supporting the prosecution case, in view of the compromise so entered into with the petitioners. Therefore, in view of the compromise so entered into between the parties, the above said FIR and the subsequent proceedings are ordered to be quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
