The aforesaid FIR was registered on the complaint of Ajay (respondent No.2) who has alleged that against a payment of Rs.5 lacs, petitioner No.1 had to supply clothes but despite the fact that the amount was received, the builties were cancelled by petitioner No.1 and the amount paid in advance was not returned.

After the issuance of notice of motion by this Court, both petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 appeared through Sh.L.M.Gulati and Sh.Gurmeet Singh, Advocates respectively. They have been identified by their Advocates. Respondent No.2 has specifically stated before me that Rs.5 lacs have been returned to him and there is no grievance left which can be pursued before the Court of law. Although some of the offences are not compoundable but in view of the Full Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and others 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, even non-compoundable offence can also be compounded if the parties have resolved the dispute outside the Court. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.119 dated 1.9.2007 registered under Sections 420/467/468/471/120-B IPC at Police Station Kotwali, Amritsar and all other subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
