CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. K.S. Kahlon, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. H.S. Brar, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Dheeraj Inderjeet Singh, Advocate, for respondent No.2. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Criminal Miscellaneous No.39785 of 2008 has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for impleading Pushp Raj son of late Sada Ram, resident of Village Daulowal, as respondent No.2. Application is allowed. Pushp Raj is impleaded as respondent No.2. The main petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.53 dated 4.6.2008 lodged for commission of offence under Section(s) 323, 324, 325, 326, 34 IPC, Police Crl. Misc. No. M-21851 of 2008 [2] Station, Hariana, District Hoshiarpur. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the parties have settled all the disputes by way of compromise. The compromise deed has been placed on record as Annexure P-2. Respondent No.2 has put in appearance through Mr. Deeraj Inderjeet Singh, Advocate. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 has endorsed the factum of compromise and states that the complainant, who is also the injured, has no objection if the FIR and consequent proceedings are quashed. 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 contentions of the learned counsel. Considering the nature of offence; the only injured and complainant, Pushp Raj has endorsed the factum of compromise with a further prayer that FIR and proceedings be quashed; the State has not opposed the quashing of FIR and proceedings; continuance of proceedings shall not serve any purpose as the complainant is not ready and willing to prosecute the petitioners, and it would be in the interest of peace and harmony that the proceedings do not continue, this petition is allowed. FIR No.53 dated 4.6.2008 lodged for commission of offence under Section(s) 323, 324, 325, Crl. Misc. No. M-21851 of 2008 [3] 326, 34 IPC, Police Station, Hariana, District Hoshiarpur, is hereby quashed. (AJAI LAMBA) November 03, 2008 JUDGE avin
