JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Rakesh Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Hemant Bassi, Advocate for respondent no.1. Mr. N.S. Dandiwal, Advocate for respondent No. 2. RAJESH BINDAL J. The prayer made in this petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure ( for short “the Code”) is for quashing of FIR No. 143 dated June 12, 2006 registered under Sections 435/34 IPC at Police Station, Sector 11, Chandigarh and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise having been effected between the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the dispute between the parties has been settled amicably by way of compromise . Respondent no.2- complainant has filed short reply to the petition in which while admitting the factum of compromise, it is stated that he has no objection if the FIR in question is quashed. Reliance has been placed upon a five Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab 2007 (3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. Once the matter has been compromised between the parties, no useful purpose will be served in proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, considering the law laid down by this Court in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), FIR No. 143 dated June 12, 2006 registered under Sections 435/34 IPC at Police Station, Sector 11, Chandigarh and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly. February 13, 2008 (Rajesh Bindal) Pka Judge
