JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. C.S.Bagri, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. A.S.Rai, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Rajiv Joshi, Advocate, for the respondent Nos.2 to 4. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This order shall dispose of three petitions bearing CRM-M-22951-2011 (O&M) [ 2 ] CRM-M-24887-2011 (O&M) CRM-M-24888-2011 (O&M) :::::: CRM-M-22951-2011 titled as `Ramandeep Kaur and others Vs. State of Punjab and others' [hereinafter referred to as the “first petition”], CRM-M-24887-2011 titled as `Ramandeep Kaur Vs. State of Punjab and another' [hereinafter referred to as the “second petition”] and CRM-M-24888-2011 titled as `Gurdeep Singh Vs. State of Punjab and another' [hereinafter referred to as the “third petition”] as all the petitions have arisen out of the FIR No.120 dated 09.07.2011, registered under Sections 452, 323, 324, 382, 427, 506, 34 of IPC at Police Station City Khanna. The first petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 [for short “Cr.P.C.”] for quashing of the FIR and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of the compromise (Annexures P-2 and P-3), whereas the second and the third petitions are filed under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of pre-arrest bail. Pursuant to the notices issued in the first petition, injured/ respondent No.2 to 4 are present in the Court. They are identified by their counsel Shri Rajiv Joshi, Advocate as well as by HC Gurvinder Kumar. The respondent Nos.2 to 4 have stated at the bar that the matter has been compromised between the parties and they do not want to prosecute the petitioners and have no objection if the FIR is quashed as their grievance has already been redressed. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that except for the offences under Sections 452 and 382 IPC, all the offences are compoundable. In respect of the non-compoundable offences, he relies upon a Full Bench decision of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 1052 to contend that even non-compoundable offences can be compounded by the Court. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that the first petition deserves success and as such the FIR No.120 dated 09.07.2011, registered under Sections 452, 323, 324, 382, 427, 506, 34 of IPC at Police Station City Khanna and all the consequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed. Insofar as the second and third petitions are concerned, since the CRM-M-22951-2011 (O&M) [ 3 ] CRM-M-24887-2011 (O&M) CRM-M-24888-2011 (O&M) :::::: FIR itself has been quashed, therefore, they have become infructuous. Hence, the second and third petitions are dismissed as infructuous accordingly. A photocopy of this order be placed on the files of other connected cases.
