RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.152 dated 30.10.2008, under Sections 406,498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Division No.2, Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise. 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 dispute between the parties has been compromised due to intervention of Mediation and Conciliation Center of this Court and that in view of compromise a draft of Rs.1,50,000/- has been given to respondent No.2 by petitioner No.1. Respondent No.2 also appeared through counsel and filed her short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that she 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 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. Criminal Misc.No. M- 18300 of 2009 -2- The dispute between the parties is of matrimonial in nature and that the same has been amicably settled between the parties and the parties have already taken divorce by mututal consent in view of compromise. Hence, in view of these facts, the present petition filed by the petitioners Jaspal Singh and Ravinder Kaur is accepted and FIR No.152 dated 30.10.2008, under Sections 406,498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Division No.2, Jalandhar alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua the petitioners. The petition is disposed of. May 05, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
