Crl. Misc. No. M-20511 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-20511 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 25.8.2010 Satnam Singh alias Jacky & another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Arun Takhi, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Saurav Khurana, Advocate for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.57 dated 10th June, 2010 (Annexure P-1) under Section 363/366-A/34 IPC, registered at police station Bullowal, District Hoshiarpur, and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-3) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed his reply by way of affidavit in court today, which is taken on record as Mark 'A', wherein the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties has been admitted. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned State counsel submits that since the parties have Crl. Misc. No. M-20511 of 2010 2 arrived at an amicable settlement, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. 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. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of a 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 25.8.2010 'rajpal'
