JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. J.S. Bagga, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Dhir, AAG Haryana. Mr. Chander Shekhar, Advocate for respondent No. 2. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No. 110 dated 04.06.2004 registered under Sections 406/420/506 IPC at Police Station Mahesh Nagar, Ambala Cantt and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-1). Learned counsel for the petitioners as well as respondent No. 2 have pointed out that both the parties are present in court today. They have been duly identified by their respective counsel as well as by the investigating officer (ASI Balkar Singh, who is present in court). Reply by way of affidavit of respondent No. 2 has been filed in the court today which is taken on record as mark 'A'. In the affidavit, respondent No. 2 has admitted the factum of compromise (Annexure P-1) arrived at between him Crl. Misc No. M-20955 of 2009 2 and the petitioners and further stated that he has no objection if the FIR and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom be quashed. Learned counsel for the State submits that in case a compromise has been arrived at between the parties, the State will not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR in question. 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 arising therefrom deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench judgment 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 in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 25.11.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
