State of Haryana and another . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN **** Present: Mr.Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr.Amit Khatkar, AAG, Haryana. Mr. Johan Kumar, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short ‘Cr.P.C’) for quashing of FIR No.176 dated 26.4.2007 (Annexure P-1) registered under Sections 148, 149, 323, 427 & 506 of Indian Penal Code (in short ‘IPC’), at Police Station Civil Lines Karnal, Distt. Karnal and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of a compromise/affiavit (Annexure P-2). As per the parties to the dispute, a compromise has been effected between them. Notice of motion was issued, pursuant to which a reply has been filed by respondent No.1/State. The petitioners, who are present in the Court have been identified by their counsel Mr.Vikram Singh whereas Kaushal Kamboj (respondent No.2), who is present in court has been identified by his counsel Mr.Johan Kumar. CRM-M-22119 of 2009 - 2 - I have asked the petitioners as well as Kaushal Kamboj (complainant/respondent No.2) about the compromise to which they have stated that the compromise has been effected and there is no change in it till date. The present FIR has been registered Sections 148, 149, 323 427 & 506 IPC. As per Section 320 of the Cr.P.C., Section 323, 427 and 506 IPC are compoundable. Even otherwise, in view of the decision of the Full Bench of this Court reported as Kulwinder Singh & Others vs. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, even non-compundable offence can also be compounded if the parties have already resolved their dispute. Since the matter has been resolved between the parties, therefore, it would not be in the interest of justice to proceed with this case. Therefore, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.176 dated 26.4.2007 alongwith all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
