Misc No. M-22694 of 2008 This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 88 dated 28.05.2008 registered under sections 419/420/467/468/471/120-B IPC at police station Bawanikhera, District Bhiwani and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise. Counsel for the petitioners as well as respondent No. 2 have pointed out that both the parties are present in Court today. They have been duly identified by their respective counsel. Learned counsel for the Crl. Misc No. M-22694 of 2008 (O&M) -2- respondent No. 2 has stated that an affidavit has been filed on behalf of the complainant/respondent No. 2 in which it has been stated that petitioners and respondent No. 2 have compromised the matter. The complainant/respondent No. 2 has further stated that he has no interest in pursuing the FIR in question and thus the same be quashed on the basis of compromise. The affidavit is taken on record as mark 'A'. Learned counsel for the State submits that in case there is compromise arrived at between the parties, the State has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question. The compromise is in the interest of the parties and after the matter has been resolved by an amicable settlement, no useful purpose is likely to be served with continuance of the criminal proceedings. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom deserve to be quashed in the light of the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR(Crl.), 1052. Resultantly the present petition is allowed, the FIR in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 27.03.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
