Criminal Misc. No. M-10240 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-10240 of 2010 Date of decision : 12.07.2010 Sukhwinder Singh and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab and another ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. U.K. Kanwar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Naveen Batra, Advocate for respondent No. 2. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 12 dated 25.02.2009 under Sections 323, 324, 148, 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Haryana District Hoshiarpur and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between the parties. It has been further stated in the affidavit that complainant/respondent No. 2 has no objection if the FIR and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in case a compromise has been arrived at between the parties, the State will not stand Criminal Misc. No. M-10240 of 2010 2 in the way of quashing of the FIR in question. 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 by continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench judgment 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 in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
