Crl. Misc. No.M-4395 of 2009 Ashwani @ Billi & another vs. State of Punjab & another Present: Mr. C.L.Panwar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, DAG, Punjab. **** This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.PC for quashing the FIR No.417 dt. 21.12.2008 under Sections 363, 366, 120-B IPC, PS Basti Jodhewal, Distt. Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that on 21.12.2008, the petitioner No.1 and daughter of respondent No.2 got married and were given protection by Human Rights Commission, Punjab. Learned counsel for the petitioners further states that now the petitioner No.1 and daughter of respondent No.2 have already got one child and are happily living together. I find that respondent No.2 has chosen not to appear before this Court even despite service. This also corroborates the stand of the learned counsel for the petitioners that in fact the parties have reconciled this marriage. Learned Dy. Advocate General, Punjab on instructions of ASI Navdeep confirmed the fact that the daughter of respondent No.2 is living happily with petitioner No.1. In my opinion, in these circumstances, no useful purpose would be served by continuing the prosecution in this case. Though it may not be termed as compromise yet support can be taken from the decision of this court in Kulwinder Singh & others vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Crl. Misc. No.M-4395 of 2009 -2- I therefore, deem it appropriate to quash the FIR No. FIR No.417 dt. 21.12.2008 PS Basti Jodhewal, Distt. Ludhiana. This petition is disposed of.
