M-29342 OF 2010(O&M) DECIDED ON : 07.12.2010 Sucha Singh and another ...Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. C. PURI Present : Mr. Deepak Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. Mr. G. S. Rawat, Advocate, for respondents No.3 and 4. K. C. PURI, J. (ORAL) CRM NO.63803 OF 2010 The application stands allowed and the document i.e translated copy of the FIR is taken on record, subject to all just exceptions. MAIN CASE This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing FIR No.08 dated 24.01.2007 under Sections 324/323/34 IPC and Sections 326/325 IPC(added later on) registered at Police Station Ghoman, District Batala, on CRM NO. M-29342 OF 2010(O&M) -2- the basis of compromise, along with all subsequent proceedings arising from that FIR. Report of the trial Court has been received in which it is mentioned that parties have arrived at a compromise. The parties are near relatives. Respondents No.3 and 4 are also present in person and have been identified by their counsel Mr. G. S. Rawat, Advocate. Our own High Court in Full Bench Authority “Kulwinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others” 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, has observed in paras 27 and 28 as under : “27. The power to do complete justice is the very essence of every judicial justice dispensation system. It cannot be diluted by distorted perceptions and is not a slave to anything, except to the caution and circumspection, the standards of which the Court sets before it, in exercise of such plenary and unfettered power inherently vested in it while donning the cloak of compassion to achieve the ends of justice. No embargo, be in the shape of Section 320 (9) of the Cr.P.C., or any other such curtailment, can whittle down the power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. 28. The compromise, in a modern society, is the sine qua non of harmony and orderly behaviour. It is the soul of justice and if the power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C is used to enhance such a compromise which, in turn, enhances the social amity and reduces friction, then it truly is “finest hour of CRM NO. M-29342 OF 2010(O&M) -3- justice” . Disputes which ave their genesis in a matrimonial discord, landlord-tenant matters, commercial transactions and other such matters can safely be dealt with by the Court by exercising its power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C in the event of a compromise, but this is not to say that the power is limited to such cases. There can never be any such rigid rule to prescribe the exercise of such power, especially in the absence of any premonitions to forecast and predict eventualities which the cause of justice may throw up during the course of a litigation.” So, in view of the above circumstances and in view Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), the above said FIR stands quashed. Further proceedings in pursuant to that FIR also stands quashed. Disposed of. DECEMBER 07, 2010 (K. C. PURI) shalini JUDGE
