An affidavit has been filed by respondent No. 2 in which it has been stated that petitioners and respondent No. 2 have compromised the matter. Respondent No. 2 has further stated that he has no interest in pursuing the FIR in question and thus, the same be quashed on the basis of compromise. The said affidavit is taken on record as mark 'A'. Crl. Misc No. M-5760 of 2009 -2- Learned counsel for the State submits that in case there is compromise 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 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. 04.05.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
