The aforesaid case was initiated on the basis of a private complaint filed by Virender son of Sh.Ram Sarup respondent No.2- complainant, who is present in the Court and identified by his counsel Sh.Jagjeet Beniwal, Advocate. Ultimately, in this case, petitioners were summoned for commission of offences punishable under Sections 323, 324, 427, 452, 506, 148, 149 of Indian Penal Code and not under Section 25 of the Arms Act. At the asking of the Court, respondent No.2-complainant states that with the intervention of the respectable and common relations, they have arrived at compromise. In this regard, compromise deed Criminal Misc.No.M-13319 of 2008 (O&M) -2- (Annexure P3) dated 26.04.2008 is also placed on the file. Proceedings in this complaint case are still at initial stage as the evidence of the complainant is yet to be concluded. In the given facts and circumstances, this Court feels that no useful purpose would be served if the proceedings in the case in hand are allowed to continue. Moreover, it would also be in the interest of peace and harmony between the parties to close the chapter of this case. In the result, this petition succeeds and consequently Criminal Complaint dated 30.01.2003 under Sections 323, 324, 427, 452, 506, 148, 149 of Indian Penal Code and 25/54/59 of Arms Act, Virender Kumar versus Shri Bhagwan and others, and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby ordered to be quashed, qua the petitioners.
