IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 20155 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision : May 27, 2009 Harpinder Singh alias Sunny and another ....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another ....Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Ms. Ishma Randhawa, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. K.D. Sachdeva, DAG Punjab Mr. PS Goraya, Advocate, for respondent no. 2 Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) Petitioners have brought this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of F.I.R. No. 460 dated 31.12.2006 registered under Sections 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. Without going into any further details, suffice it to say that the aforesaid case was registered at the instance of respondent no. 2 Rajiv Kumar complainant who is present in the Court and identified by his counsel Sh. PS Goraya. On query put to the complainant, he states that now the matter has been settled amicably between the parties and that he has no objection if the aforesaid case is quashed against the petitioners. In this regard, compromise deed dated 22.5.2008 Annexure P/2 is also placed on the file. It is also pertinent to mention here that the learned State Criminal Misc.-M No. 20155 of 2008 (O&M) -2- counsel has fairly states that injuries on the person of respondent no. 2 were found to be simple and so provisions of section 307 IPC are not attracted in this case. Challan is yet to be presented in the case. In the given facts and circumstances, this Court feels that no useful purpose would be served if the proceedings in the case in hand are allowed to continue. It would be in the interest of peace and harmony between the parties to close the chapter of this case. In the result, this petition succeeds and consequently, F.I.R. No. 460 dated 31.12.2006 registered under Sections 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby ordered to be quashed, qua the petitioners.
