No.M-13365 of 2011 (O & M) I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Report from learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Ferozepur has been received in connected Crl. Misc. No.M-13305 of 2011. Statements of the parties recorded by learned Magistrate have also been received. They have stated that they have effected compromise voluntarily. Learned counsel for respondent No.2- complainant also states that parties have effected compromise Annexure P-3 and, therefore, respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the cross-version in question. In appropriate cases, FIR or criminal case can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences 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) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, there are cross-versions regarding the occurrence alleged by both the parties against each other. FIR lodged by petitioner No.1 against respondent No.2 and others has also been quashed in view of compromise. The parties are blood relations. It is, therefore, a fit case in which the cross-version should also be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the DDR No.18 dated 06.03.2011 under Sections 323, 336, 427, 148 and 149 IPC (Annexure P-2) as recorded in FIR No.23 dated 05.03.2011, under Sections 307, 324, 323, 148 and 149 IPC and 2 Crl. Misc. No.M-13365 of 2011 (O & M) Section 25 of the Arms Act registered at police station, Mamdot, Distt. Ferozeput (Annexure P-1) is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. (L. N. MITTAL) JUDGE 26.07.2011 A.kaundal 3
