Crl. Misc. No.M-20366 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-20366 of 2011 Date of Decision: 30.08.2011 Neeraj and others ..... Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and another ..... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present: Mr. Ashish Pannu, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sameer Singh, AAG, Haryana, for respondent No.1. Mr. Amit Khatkar, Advocate, for respondent No.2. L.N. MITTAL, J. Neeraj and five others have filed the instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') for quashing the FIR No.92 dated 26.03.2010 under Sections 498A, 406 and 506 IPC registered at Police Station Kundli, District Sonepat (Annexure P-1) in view of the compromise (Annexure P-2) effected with respondent No.2 – complainant who has also furnished affidavit (Annexure P-3) regarding the compromise. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 complainant states that respondent No.2 has effected compromise (Annexure P-2) and has also furnished affidavit (Annexure P-3) regarding the compromise and therefore respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case Crl. Misc. No.M-20366 of 2011 -2- file. 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 and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 1052. In the instant case, the impugned FIR is a result of matrimonial dispute between petitioner No.1 husband and respondent No.2 wife. The said dispute has been amicably settled between them. Accordingly, it is a fit case in which the FIR should be quashed. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No.92 dated 26.03.2010 under Sections 498A, 406 and 506 IPC registered at Police Station Kundli, District Sonepat (Annexure P-1) is quashed qua petitioners along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
