CRM No. M-187 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-187 of 2009 Date of decision: 29.01.2009 Amandeep Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. R.K. Girdhar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Arvind Singh, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.146 dated 6th October, 2005 under Sections 279, 337, 338 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Faridkot (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. The FIR was lodged by respondent No.3 Rajinder Singh (complainant) who is the grand son of the injured Nirbhai Singh- respondent No.2. The injured Nirbhai Singh/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit, admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. CRM No. M-187 of 2009 2 The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
