Copy of the compromise reached between the parties is annexed with the petition as Annexure P-2. Annexure P-3 is the affidavit in support of this compromise. Criminal Misc. No. M- 7551 of 2011 -2- Relying on Full Bench decision of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others 2007(3) RCR (Cri.) 1052, the petitioners have approached this Court for quashing the criminal proceedings, especially so, when this is a fight between the brothers. When this case came up for hearing before this Court, directions were issued for the parties to appear before the trial Court and record their statements in regard to this compromise. The trial Court was directed to submit the report if this compromise was genuine and is arrived at without any coercion or pressure. The parties have, accordingly, appeared before the trial Court and have recorded their statements. The report is received from Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Gurgaon. As per the report, this compromise has been effected between the parties without any pressure and coercion and, thus, is voluntary. Copy of the statements of the parties made before the trial Court has also been annexed with this report. It is, thus, clear that the parties have genuinely compromised. Otherwise also, this is fight between the brothers and they have decided to resolve their dispute. Accordingly, no useful purpose would be served in allowing this prosecution to continue. The petition is, accordingly, allowed. FIR No. 228 dated 21.09.2010 registered under Sections 323, 325 and 34 IPC at Police Station Khaidki Daula, Gurgaon and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
