Crl. Misc. No.M-13305 of 2011 (O & M) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-13305 of 2011 (O & M) Date of Decision: 26.07.2011 Darshan Singh and others ……Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another …...Respondents Coram: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. Kamaljeet Singh, Advocate for Ms. Puja Chopra, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Addl. AG, Punjab. Mr. Munish Kapila, Advocate for respondent No.2. L.N. MITTAL, J (ORAL) Darshan Singh and four others have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short, Cr. P.C) for quashing of FIR No.23 dated 05.03.2011, under Sections 307, 324, 323, 148 and 149 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act registered at police station, Mamdot, Distt. Ferozeput (Annexure P- 1), in view of compromise (Annexure P-3) effected with complainant- respondent No.2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Report has been received from learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Ferozepur that parties have effected compromise voluntarily. Statements of the parties recorded by 1 Crl. Misc. No.M-13305 of 2011 (O & M) learned Magistrate have also been received. Learned counsel for respondent No.2-complainant also states that parties have effected compromise Annexure P-3 and, therefore, respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR. 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 Vs. State of Punjab 2007(3) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, there is cross version of the occurrence. Petition for quashing cross-version has also been filed. The parties are blood relatives. Offence under Section 307 IPC has been added because fire arm was used, but no injury was caused to the complainant by the fire arm. It is, therefore, a fit case in which the impugned FIR should be quashed so that the parties may live peacefully. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned of FIR No.23 dated 05.03.2011, under Sections 307, 324, 323, 148 and 149 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act registered at police station, Mamdot, Distt. Ferozeput (Annexure P-1) is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. (L. N. MITTAL) JUDGE 26.07.2011 A.kaundal 2
