IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-33368 of 2009 Date of Decision: February 08, 2010 Simranjit Singh & Others .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Manuj Nagrath, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, for respondent No.1 Mr. Vishal Garg, Advocate, for respondent Nos.2 and 3. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.69 dated 28.6.2009 under Sections 452, 323, 506, 148, 149 IPC registered with Police Station, Sadar Dhuri, District Sangrur. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that all the disputes between the parties have been settled by way of compromise. The factum of compromise has been endorsed by respondent No.2, Bikramjit Singh, in his affidavit, placed on record as Annexure P-3. Compromise has been recorded in the compromise deed Crl. Misc. No. M-33368 of 2009 [2] (Annexure P-2). Reply on behalf of respondent No.2 has been filed in Court which is taken on record. In the reply filed in Court, it has been brought out that as per terms and conditions of compromise, petition under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act has been filed. The deponent (Bikramjit Singh) would have no objection if the petition is allowed and FIR at issue is quashed. I have considered the issue. It seems to be a matrimonial dispute which resulted in lodging of the FIR. Now that parties have settled their disputes by way of compromise deed (Annexure P-2) and the complainant has endorsed the factum of compromise, no legal purpose would be served by continuance of proceedings against the petitioners, rather it would be abuse of process of Court. The petition is allowed. FIR No.69 dated 28.6.2009 under Sections 452, 323, 506, 148, 149 IPC registered with Police Station, Sadar Dhuri, District Sangrur and subsequent proceedings are hereby quashed.
