NO.M-36367 OF2013-2- In appropriate cases, FIR can be quashed by this Court on the basis of compromise by exercising inherent 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 versus State of Punjab 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052.
In the instant case, parties belong to the same village.
Parties have effected amicable settlement with intervention of respectable persons from both sides.
Accordingly, it is a fit case in which the impugned FIR should be quashed so that the parties may live in peace and harmony.
Resultantly, instant petition is allowed and impugned FIR No.315 dated 05.06.2013 (Annexure P-1).is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
