The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.269 dated 30th October, 2007, under Sections 498-A, 406 IPC, registered at Police Station City Sangrur, District Sangrur (Annexure P-1) and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise/affidavit (Annexure P-2), arrived at between the parties. Notice of motion to the respondents. On asking of the Court, Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab accepts notice. At this stage, Mr. Jagmeet Moudgil, Advocate, has put in appearance on behalf of respondent No.2. Complainant/respondent No.2 is present in Court. She is duly identified by her counsel. She has filed an affidavit, which is taken CRM No. M-5419 of 2009 2 on record as Mark 'A' admitting therein the factum of compromise/ affidavit (Annexure P-2). She states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. Learned State counsel states that in view of the compromise, the State has no serious objection for quashing the FIR. 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, which would be a futile exercise. In view of the above, the present FIR and the consequent proceedings 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 and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
