Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-26898 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-26898 of 2011 Date of Decision : 5th October, 2011 Jasbir Singh & another .... Petitioners Versus State of Haryana & another .... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. Hitesh Pandit, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Anupam Sharma, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. Raj Kishor, Advocate for respondent No.2-complainant. Petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 also – in person. * * * * L.N.MITTAL, J. (ORAL) Jasbir Singh and his mother Vidya Devi have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short, Cr. P.C.), for quashing FIR No.197 dated 25.11.2008 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 498-A, 323, 506, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station Pinjore, District Panchkula, in view of compromise (Annexure P-2) effected with respondent No.2- complainant Sunita. Affidavit of respondent No.2-complainant filed today in court is taken on record, subject to all just exceptions. It has been affirmed in the affidavit that respondent No.2 has effected compromise Annexure P-2 with the petitioners. Presently she is living in the matrimonial home and, therefore, she has no objection if the impugned FIR is quashed. Learned counsel for respondent No.2, on instruction from respondent No.2 who is also present in Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-26898 of 2011 -2- person in the Court, also makes statement to the same effect. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. In appropriate cases, FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 of 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 (2) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2205. In the instant case, impugned FIR is result of matrimonial dispute between petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2-complainant. However, pursuant to compromise, they have started residing together as husband and wife. It is thus happy ending of the dispute. Consequently, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the impugned FIR so that parties may live together peacefully. In view of the aforesaid, instant petition is allowed and impugned FIR Annexure P-1 is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. ( L. N.
