Respondent No.2 – complainant has also appeared in court and filed his reply admitting the factum of compromise stating that he has no objection if the present FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. It has also been stated by learned State counsel that compromise has been effected between the parties 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 respectable persons, and in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, who are residents of same village, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.105, dated 25.09.2001 under Sections 143/145/149/506 IPC registered at P.S.
