IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-23284 of 2009 Date of Decision: January 11, 2010 Kuljit Singh & Others .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS U.T. Chandigarh & Another .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Anil Chaudhary, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Puneet Bassi, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr. Pawan Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.2. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.147 dated 19.9.2006, under Sections 406, 498-A IPC registered with Police Station, Sector 19, Chandigarh. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that on account of matrimonial disputes, FIR came to be lodged at the instance of respondent No.2, Anu Bala. Better sense however Crl. Misc. No. M-23284 of 2009 [2] has prevailed on the parties and the matter has been compromised. So much so, factum of compromise has been recorded by the Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Sangrur who was dealing with the petition filed under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for restitution of conjugal rights. The order has been placed on record as Annexure P-1. Learned counsel for the respondent- complainant also states that the issues have been settled by way of mutual compromise. I have considered the issue. It seems that on account of matrimonial disputes, respondent No.2, Anu Bala, lodged FIR noticed above. The respondent- complainant and petitioner No.1 have two sons. As per the statement made by both the sides, Anu Bala and Kuljit Singh are now living together as husband and wife, and have no differences. Factum of compromise has also been noticed in Order, Annexure P-1. Considering the facts and circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that no useful purpose would be served by continuing the proceedings as the respondent- complainant would not bring any evidence to Court. The matrimonial life of the complainant Crl. Misc. No. M-23284 of 2009 [3] would be disturbed by continuing the proceedings and therefore, it would be wholly unjust to allow proceedings to continue. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.147 dated 19.9.2006, under Sections 406, 498-A IPC registered with Police Station, Sector 19, Chandigarh and subsequent proceedings are hereby quashed. (AJAI LAMBA) January 11, 2010 JUDGE avin
