CRM No. M-2643 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-2643 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 16.03.2009 Bhajna Ram and others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. G.S. Rawat, Advocate, for respondents No.2 & 3. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.367 dated 4th September, 2003, under Sections 452, 324, 427, 148, 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Jalandhar, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1), 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, which is taken on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. He states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. The original copy of the compromise deed has been submitted which is taken on record as Mark- 'B'. CRM No. M-2643 of 2009 2 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, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings 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 and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
