JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. Amit Dhawan, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab for respondent No.1-State. Mr. Rajive Joshi, Advocate for respondent No.2. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of FIR No.242 dated 11.5.2006 , under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Jalandhar (Annexure P-1 ) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2 ). 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 is matrimonial in nature and that the same has been amicably settled between the parties due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Respondent No.2-complainant 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- 4883 of 2010 -2- Hence, in view of these facts, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.242 dated 11.5.2006 , under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Jalandhar alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly. March 23, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
