Dhillion, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Sunil Polist, Advocate for respondent No. 2. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 21 dated 11.02.2009 under Sections 406, 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Morinda, District Ropar (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise. Learned counsel for the parties submit that a compromise has been arrived at between the parties and dispute has been amicably settled. They submit that complainant namely Kuldeep Kaur is present in court today. She has been duly identified by Mr. Sunil Polist, Advocate for the complainant. She has filed her affidavit in court which is taken on record as Mark 'A'. In her affidavit she has admitted the factum of compromise arrived at between her and the petitioner. It has been further stated in the Criminal Misc. No. M-9347 of 2010 2 affidavit that respondent No. 2 (complainant) has no objection if the FIR and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of compromise, the State will not stand 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 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 qua the petitioner. The FIR in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
