Notice of motion to the respondents. Mr.P.S.Grewal, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, and Mr.J.S.Lalli, Advocate, who are present in court, accept notice on behalf of respondents no.1 and 2 to 5 respectively. This FIR was lodged by respondent no.2 against the petitioner. It is contended by the learned counsel that the parties have compromised the matter. The complainant party is no more interested in proceeding with the case registered against the petitioner and has no objection if the FIR in question and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. Respondent no.1 Buta Singh is present in court who admit the factum of Criminal Misc. No.11919/M of 2008. -2- ***** compromise. He is identified by Mr.J.S.Lalli, Advocate. The compromise is for the benefit of the parties and it will also give a chance to the parties to live in peace and harmony. No useful purpose is likely to be served to proceed with the case as it will be a futile exercise and wastage of time for the court below to deal with the same. The compromise (Annexure P3) is accepted in view of the judgment rendered by the Full Bench of this court in Kulwinder Singh and others vs State of Punjab and another 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, wherein this court has allowed the parties to compromise the matter in a non-compoundable offence (s) so that they may not have to undergo the turmoil of trial. Resultantly, FIR No.249 dated 19.7.2004 under Sections 279, 337, 338, 427 IPC registered at Police Station, Banga, District Nawan Shahar, (Annexure P1) and all other proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioner. 12.5.2008. (R.S.Madan) vs. Judge.
