RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) This order disposes of both the aforementioned petitions filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.139 dated 29.9.2004, registered under Sections 406/498-A IPC at P.S. Badhra, Annexure P-1 on the basis of compromise. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. Respondent No.2 filed reply through counsel stating that she is having no objection if the present FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed. It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that compromise has been effected between the parties during the hearing of FAO No.M-123 of 2008, in which order dated 14.1.2009, Annexure P-2 has been passed in view of Criminal Misc.No. M- 6560 of 2009 -2- the compromise, and decree of divorce was also granted by this Court and respondent-Wife stated that she would render all possible assistance for withdrawal of criminal case under Sections 406/498-A IPC. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of 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, in view of these facts, as the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and the dispute is matrimonial in nature, both the petitions are accepted and FIR No.139 dated 29.9.2004, registered under Sections 406/498-A IPC at P.S. Badhra alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed. The petition is disposed of. March 18, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
