Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JORA SINGH. Present: Mr.Nalinder Singh, Mr. Amar Singh and Ms.Har Rup Kavita are present in person. Mr.P.S.Grewal, AAG, Punjab. ... JORA SINGH, J. FIR No.209 dated 10.7.2001 under Sections 506/498-A IPC was registered against Nalinder Singh at the instance of Har Rup Kavita on the allegation that ishtridhan of Har Rup Kavita was entrusted to Nalinder Singh and the same is being misappropriated. After investigation, challan was presented against Nalinder Singh. Challan was pending in the Court of Civil Judge Junior Division, Mohali. There was a Mega Lok Adalat on 20th and 21st August, 2008. Har Rup Kavita filed an application to quash the FIR. On 21.12.2008, parties have effected compromise and statements of parties were recorded in the presence of Mr. Justice Surya Kant. As offence was non-compoundable, so his Lordship ordered to send the file to Hon’ble High Court. As ordered, file was sent to Hon’ble High Court and the petition was ordered to be treated under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of the FIR. Crl.Misc.No.19221 of 2009 2 After obtaining photocopy, original file was ordered to be returned back to the concerned Court. Parties appeared in person. Complainant stated that she is residing with her husband. At this stage, no dispute. No objection, if FIR is quashed. Nalinder Singh stated that now they are leading married life happily. In view of the compromise, FIR may be quashed. Father of the complainant also appeared and stated that Nalinder Singh and Har Rup Kavita are residing together as per compromise. Learned State counsel stated that in view of the compromise in the Mega Lok Adalat, no objection if FIR is quashed. As per compromise in the Mega Lok Adalat on 21.12.2008, particularly when the husband and wife are residing jointly, no purpose would be served to direct Nalinder Singh-husband to face trial because Har Rup Kaur is not to support the prosecution story. In view of the compromise, FIR No.209 dated 10.7.2001 under Sections 506/498-A IPC, Police Station Mohali, with all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, is ordered to be quashed. The petition is allowed. A copy of the order be sent to the concerned Court for necessary action. 9.10.2009 (JORA SINGH ) pk JUDGE
