JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Maninder Arora, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab for respondent No.1. Mr. Vikas Sagar, Advocate for respondent No.2. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) Reply by way of affidavit of Gursewak Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Circle Amloh has been filed in court. The same is taken on record. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.93 dated 4th May, 2010 (Annexure P-1) , under Sections 407, 420, 120B IPC, registered at police station Gobindgarh Mandi, Fatehgarh Sahib, and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in court. He is duly identified by his counsel. He has filed an affidavit in court today, which is taken on record as Mark 'A', wherein the factum of Crl. Misc. No. M-18207 of 2010 2 compromise arrived at between the parties has been admitted. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned State counsel submits that since the parties have arrived at an amicable settlement, the State would not stand in the way of quashing of the FIR on the basis of compromise. 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 deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of a 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 and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 11.8.2010 'rajpal'
