Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. Mr. P.S.Bhangu , Advocate for respondent No.2. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No.314, dated 06.08.2009 under Sections 420/467/468/471/120-B IPC read with Section 12 of the Passport Act, 1967, registered at P.S. Civil Lines, Amritsar, Annexure P1, and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2, having been entered into between the parties. CRM No.M-12305 of 2010 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that the present FIR has been registered on account of the matrimonial discord between petitioner No.4 and sister of respondent No.2 – complainant. It is further contended that both petitioner No.4 and sister of respondent No.2 are residing in Australia and that now they have reconciled the differences due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives and living together. It is further contended that even son of petitioner No.4 and sister of respondent No.2 would be sent to Australia, who is presently residing with his grand parents. Respondent No.2 – complainant also appeared in person with his counsel and filed reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of compromise and stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. 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 of Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of the respectable persons and relatives, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, the present petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 314, dated 06.08.2009 under Sections 420/467/468/471/120-B IPC read with Section 12 of the Passport Act, 1967, registered at P.S. Civil Lines, Amritsar, 2 CRM No.M-12305 of 2010 Annexure P1 alongwith all consequential proceedings qua petitioners – Yashpal Singh Walia, Saranav Pal Singh Walia, Mrs. Renu Walia and Priyanav Pal Singh is, hereby, quashed.
