CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Karanjit Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Jagdish Singh, Advocate, for respondent No.2. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.190 dated 24.9.2007 lodged for commission of offence under Section(s) 452, 323, 148, 149, 342 IPC, Police Station, B- Division, District Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners and respondent No.2 (complainant) are residents of the same area. On the intervention of respectable, all the disputes have been settled and a compromise deed (Annexure P-2) has been executed. Respondent No.2, Vijay Kumar has clearly stated in Para 1 thereof that the complainant wants to live in peace. It has further been stated that the Crl. Misc. No. M-26199 of 2008 [2] complainant shall give his statement in support of quashing of the proceedings. Respondent No.2, Vijay Kumar, as identified by his counsel Mr. Jagdish Singh, Advocate, is present in Court and states that indeed compromise deed (Annexure P-2) has been signed by him and all the disputes have been settled by way of compromise. The complainant has no objection if the FIR and proceedings are quashed on the basis of compromise. Learned counsel for the respondent-State says that if the proceedings are quashed on the basis of compromise, the State would have no objection. I have considered the issue. Considering the nature of allegations; parties are residents of the same area; complainant is present in Court and has endorsed the factum of compromise (Annexure P-2); the State has not opposed the quashing of proceedings, continuance of proceedings shall be an exercise in futility. The petition is allowed. FIR No.190 dated 24.9.2007 lodged for commission of offence under Section(s) 452, 323, 148, 149, 342 IPC, Police Station, B-Division, District Amritsar and consequent proceedings are hereby quashed.
