Crl. Misc. No.M-8698 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-8698 of 2011 Date of Decision: 30.08.2011 Manoj Kumar and another ..... Petitioners Versus The State of Punjab and another ..... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present: Mr. Arvind Bansal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Anter Singh Brar, Sr. DAG, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Mr. Naveen Mahajan, Advocate, for respondent No.2. L.N. MITTAL, J. Manoj Kumar and Shiv Kumar have filed the instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') for quashing the FIR No.109 dated 22.12.2009 under Sections 406 and 420 IPC registered at Police Station Mulepur, District Fatehgarh Sahib (Annexure P-1) in view of the compromise (Annexure P-2) effected with respondent No.2 – complainant who has also furnished affidavits (Annexures P-3 & P-4) regarding the compromise. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 complainant states that respondent No.2 has effected compromise (Annexure P-2) with the petitionres and has also furnished affidavits (Annexures P-3 & P-4) regarding the compromise and therefore respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. Crl. Misc. No.M-8698 of 2011 -2- Pursuant to the order of the preceding date, report has been received from the trial Court that parties have amicably settled the matter. Statements of both petitioners and respondent No.2 recorded by the trial Court have also been received. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. 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 and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 1052. In the instant case, the claim of respondent No.2 – complainant has been satisfied by paying him Rs.25,000/- and now he is left with no grievance against the petitioners. Accordingly, it is a fit case in which the FIR should be quashed. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.109 dated 22.12.2009 under Sections 406 and 420 IPC registered at Police Station Mulepur, District Fatehgarh Sahib (Annexure P-1) is quashed qua petitioners along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
