Crl. Misc. No.M-15958 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-15958 of 2009 Date of decision: 18.09.2009 Pritpal Singh and others …Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others …Respondents Coram:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. D. S. Pheruman, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab for respondent No.1. Mr. S. S. Chambial, Advocate for Mr. M. S. Bajwa, Advocate for respondent Nos2 and 3. L. N. MITTAL, J (ORAL) Pritpal Singh and three others have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short, Cr.P.C) for quashing of FIR No. 234 dated 13.12.2000 under Sections 326, 325, 324, 323 and 341 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) registered at police station, Majitha, Distt. Amritsar (Annexure P-1), in view of compromise (Annexure P-3) effected between the parties. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 and 3 i.e both injured persons (including the complainant who lodged the FIR) on instructions from respondent Nos.2 and 3, who are also present in person in the Court, states that the parties have effected compromise (Annexure P-3) and therefore, respondent Nos.2 and 3 have no objection, if the impugned FIR is quashed. Crl. Misc. No.M-15958 of 2009 -2- I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. 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 Kulwinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2225. In the instant case, petitioner No.1 has instituted criminal complaint (Annexure P-2) against respondent Nos.2 and 3 and others whereas respondent No.2 has lodged impugned FIR against the petitioners. Both the cross-cases have been compromised with the intervention of relatives, friends, respectables and Panchayat. The parties belong to the same village. They want to live in peace and harmony. It is, therefore, a fit case in which the impugned FIR should be quashed. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 234 dated 13.12.2000 under Sections 326, 325, 324, 323 and 341 read with Section 34 IPC registered at police station, Majitha, Distt. Amritsar (Annexure P-1) is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. ( L. N. MITTAL ) JUDGE 18.09.2009 A.Kaundal
