JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Tarsem Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. K.S. Pannu, DAG, Punjab for the State. Mr. P.K.S. Phoolka, Advocate for respondents No. 2 and 3. ***** RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioners pray for quashing of FIR No. 46 dated 04.08.2011 registered against them under sections 452, 323 and 34 IPC at Police Station Joga, District Mansa. The prayer is made on the basis of compromise, which the parties have reached. Copy of the compromise has been annexed with the petition as Annexure P-2. This FIR was lodged on the complaint made by Ram Singh son of Bogha Singh alleging that the petitioners trespassed into their house and caused injuries to them. Accordingly, the petitioners are being prosecuted for offence under Sections 452, 323 and 34 IPC. The FIR is still being investigated and challan is yet to be presented. During the pendency of this petition, respectables of the area and Gram Panchayat have intervened. The parties to the Crl. Misc. No. M- 29531 of 2011 (O&M) -2- proceedings have, therefore, decided to compromise and amicably settled this dispute. Respondents No. 2 and 3 have voluntarily agreed to compromise with the petitioners and have no objection in case FIR registered at their instance is quashed. Respondents No. 2 and 3 are present in person before the court. I have spoken to them and they have confirmed that they indeed have entered into this compromise and would have no objection in case the FIR registered against the petitioners is quashed. The parties have compromised to have peaceful and friendly relations. They should be encouraged to stay as a good neighbour in a peaceful and cordial atmosphere. The parties have voluntarily compromised the case. No useful purpose, therefore, would be served in allowing this prosecution to continue. The quashing in such like cases can always be allowed, in view of the law laid down by Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others 2007(3) RCR (Cri.) 1052 The prayer in the petition is, accordingly, allowed. FIR No. 46 dated 04.08.2011 registered under sections 452, 323 and 34 IPC at Police Station Joga, District Mansa and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby ordered to be quashed.
