No. M-32924 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: August 10, 2011 Manpreet Singh and others .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab and others ........ RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. J.S. Gharuan, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl. A.G., Punjab. Mr. Kulwant Singh, Advocate, for respondents no. 2 and 3. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) This petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. prays for quashing of FIR No. 40 dated 07.08.2010 under Sections 308/34 IPC, P.S. Phul, District Bathinda and consequent proceedings on the basis of compromise, placed on record as Annexure P-1. Learned counsel for the petitioners and respondents no. 2 and 3 contend that there was an altercation, whereupon FIR came to be lodged at the instance of Gurtej Singh-respondent no. 2. Injured is respondent no. 3- Kulwinder Singh. Gurtej Singh and Kulwinder Singh are present in Court, as identified by their counsel, Mr. Kulwant Singh, Advocate, and state that they have settled their disputes by way of compromise. In view of the fact that the disputes have been settled, even investigation has not been completed because the injured and complainant are not co-operating with the investigating agency, continuance of Crl. Misc. No. M-32924 of 2010 2 proceedings shall be an exercise in futility. Further, if the proceedings are allowed to continue, it shall not be in true spirit of peace and harmony, particularly in view of the fact that the alleged injury on the person of Kulwinder Singh has not caused any permanent physical disability to him. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No. 40 dated 07.08.2010 under Sections 308/34 IPC, P.S. Phul, District Bathinda and consequent proceedings are hereby quashed. 10.08.2011 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
