JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. S.S.Swaich, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. K.S.Pannu, AAG, Punjab. Mr. Tekwinder Singh, Advocate. **** RAJESH BINDAL, J. The prayer made in this petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, “the Code”) is for quashing FIR No.301 dated 22.8.2007 registered under Sections 406, 420 IPC at Police Station, Mohali District S.A.S. Nagar and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise having been effected between the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the dispute between the parties has been settled amicably by way of compromise which has been reduced in writing. Copy thereof is placed on record as Annexure P.2. Private respondents have filed reply to the petition in which while admitting the factum of compromise, they have stated that they have no objection if the FIR in question is quashed. Reliance has been placed upon a five Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab 2007 (3) Law Herald (P&H) 2225. Once the matter has been compromised between the parties, no useful purpose will be served in proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, considering the law laid down by this Court in Kulwinder Singh's case (supra), FIR No.301 dated 22.8.2007 registered under Sections 406, 420 IPC at Police Station, Mohali District S.A.S. Nagar and all Criminal Misc. No.53654-M of 2007 -2- subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. The petition is disposed of accordingly. February 08, 2008 ( RAJESH BINDAL ) Pka JUDGE
