Respondent No.2-Mansi Jain @ Neetu Jain appeared through counsel and filed his short reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that due to intervention of respectable and relatives, the matter has been compromised with the petitioners and now she is having no objection if the FIR in question with consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioners. The compromise is voluntarily and without any pressure. As per compromise, both the parties have settled the dispute amicably as per the conditions recorded in the compromise/statement dated 06.6.2009 Criminal Misc. No. M- 1603 of 2010 -2- (Annexure P-3). Counsel for the respondent does not dispute the genuineness of the compromise/statement (Annexure P-3) annexed with the petition. 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. Hence, in view of affidavit of respondent No.2-Mansi Jain @ Neetu Jain dated 14.2.2011 and in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is accepted and FIR No. 132 dated 29.11.2006 under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Maqsudan, Tehsil and District Jalandhar, is quashed alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, qua petitioners.
