Dhindsa, Advocate for the petitioner. RITU BAHRI J.(Oral) This petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of FIR No.119 dated 30.3.2004 under Sections 420 and 406 IPC registered at Police Station Nokadar, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1/T) on the basis of compromise. As per FIR, on 20.1.2000 a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- alongwith passport were given to accused Baggo wife of Charan Singh and Soni (petitioner) son of Charan Singh, who were stated to be agents, by Darshan Lal-husband of complainant for the purpose of sending him abroad but they did not send him abroad nor did they return money and passport. In this background, the FIR was registered. The dispute in the present case related to the amount of Rs.1,00,000/-, which the petitioner has paid back to the complainant and compromise has taken place on 21.10.2010, whereby both the parties do not wish to proceed with the civil or criminal litigation pending in the Courts. Reference has been made to the order dated 3.12.2005 (Annexure P-3) whereby Criminal Misc. No. M- 10866 of 2011 -2- the petitioner had been declared proclaimed offender. Without going into the merits of the order, which was passed on 3.12.2005 declaring the petitioner proclaimed offender in view of the fact that the dispute has been settled and the petitioner has made the payment of Rs.1,00,000/-, a direction has been given to enable the petitioner to appear before the Judicial Magistrate within a period of 15 days and submit his bail bonds. The trial Court will accept the bail bonds and thereafter record the statements of the parties with regard to validity of the compromise and pass an appropriate order within a period of three months. The criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of. April 08,2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
