JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. Anil Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab. Mr. Yogesh Goyal, Advocate for respondent No.2. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of FIR No.160 dated 24.12.2008, under Sections 406 and 420 IPC, registered at Police Station Budhladha, District Mansa (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the parties are related to each other and that as per allegation a combine machine for harvesting was borrowed by the petitioners from respondent No.2- complainant and however the same was not returned and hence, the present FIR was lodged. However, now the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Respondent No.2-complainant also appeared through counsel and filed his short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. 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 Criminal Misc.No. M- 6565 of 2010 -2- are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.160 dated 24.12.2008, under Sections 406 and 420 IPC, registered at Police Station Budhladha, District Mansa alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioners-Ilamdeen, Saleem Khan and Ramjan. The petition is disposed of. May 12, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
