Criminal Misc.No. M-20225 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No. M-20225 of 2010 Date of decision:- 27.8.2010 Ravinder Kumar ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. Vishal Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG Punjab. Mr. Harkesh Manuja, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of FIR No.62 dated 1.6.2006, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station C-Division, Amritsar (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the parties that the dispute between the parties is matrimonial in nature and that the same has since been amicably settled due to intervention of respectable persons and relatives from both the sides. Respondent No.2-complainant also appeared through counsel and admitted the factum of compromise and stated that she is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of Criminal Misc.No. M-20225 of 2010 -2- compromise by exercising power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Hence, as the dispute between the parties is matrimonial in nature and that the same has since been amicably settled, the present petition is accepted and FIR No.62 dated 1.6.2006, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station C-Division, Amritsar alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua petitioner-Ravinder Kumar. The petition is disposed of accordingly. August 27, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
