CRM No. M-10269 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-10269 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 19.5.2009 Navneet Kumar and others ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Sandeep Jasuja, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. K.C. Gupta, AAG, Haryana, for respondent No.1. Mr. Kapil Khanna, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.136 dated 28th May, 2008, under Sections 406, 498-A & 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Sector 40, Gurgaon (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 i.e. husband and wife are present in Court. They have been duly identified by their respective counsel. They have submitted that the matrimonial dispute has been resolved and petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 have decided to part their ways. All issues as regards Istridhan, maintenance and permanent alimony have been settled. The complainant-respondent No.2 has filed CRM No. M-10269 of 2009 2 reply by way of short affidavit, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. She states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in view of the fact that the present FIR is regarding a matrimonial dispute, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Resultantly, the present petition is allowed, the FIR and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE May 19, 2009 'rajpal'
