State of Punjab and another ......Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present:- Mr. Balram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl. AG, Punjab Mr. Jonny Goyal, Advocate, for respondent No.2 --- AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) : This petition filed under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, prays for quashing of FIR No.118 dated 8.9.2011 under Sections 498-A, 323 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Bullowal, District Hoshiarpur, placed on record as Annexure P-1, on the basis of compromise, Annexure P-2. It has been brought out that respondent No.2 Veena Kumari is married to Satish Kumar-petitioner No.5. There were matrimonial differences on account of which FIR came to be lodged at the instance of Veena Kumari against the petitioners, who are the husband and his relatives. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and respondent No.2 state that the matrimonial differences between the husband and wife have been resolved. So much so, Satish Kumar and Veena Kumari are living together and have a child aged about 11 months. It has been pleaded that if the proceedings are allowed to go, all the differences would again occur and CRM No.M-29782 of 2011(O & M) -2- would not allow the parties to settle down in life. Learned State counsel states that because the parties have entered into a compromise, the petition for quashing of FIR is not opposed. I have considered the issue. The disputes between the husband and wife have been settled. Veena Kumari, present in Court, as identified by her counsel Mr. Jonny Goyal, states that indeed she is now living in her matrimonial home and does not want to prosecute the petitioners. Considering the facts and circumstances, this petition is allowed. FIR No.118 dated 8.9.2011 under Sections 498-A, 323 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Bullowal, District Hoshiarpur is hereby quashed. (AJAI LAMBA) JUDGE 12.10.2011 akm
