Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. Mr. Madan Gupta, Advocate for respondent No.2. *** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed by Kamal Pal, Parkash Ram and Surinder Pal under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No.189 dated 25.11.2008 under Sections 406/420 IPC, registered at P.S. Tanda, District Hoshiarpur, Annexure P1 and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2, having been entered into the parties. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that due to Crl.Misc.No.M-36735 of 2009 intervention of village Panchayat, the compromise, Annexure P2, has been effected between the parties. Respondent No.2 – complainant has also filed reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise stating that he has no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that compromise has been genuinely effected between the parties. Reply to this effect has also been placed on record on behalf of State. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of village Panchayat, the present petition is accepted and the impugned FIR No. 189 dated 25.11.2008 under Sections 406/420 IPC, registered at P.S. Tanda, District Hoshiarpur, Annexure P1 alongwith all consequential proceedings is, hereby, quashed. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) March 23, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
