Reply on behalf of respondents have been filed, which are taken on record. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Respondent No.2- complainant also appeared through counsel and filed his short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. 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 Criminal Misc.No. M- 10690 of 2010 -2- Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052.
