*** Ajay Tewari, J (Oral) Prayer in the present petition, filed under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C, is for quashing of FIR No.279, dated 8.10.2013, registered under Sections 420, 419, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the IPC, at Police Station Patran, District Patiala on the basis of a compromise, arrived at between the parties.
Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 16.5.2014, report dated 11.6.2014 from the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Samana has been received attesting to the fact that the matter has been compromised between Kumar Kishan 2014.08.12 10:21 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document High Court Chandigarh CRM-M No.8239 of 2014 ::2:: the parties.
Counsel for the parties have also stated that in fact the matter has been compromised between the parties amicably.
Counsel for the State of Punjab has also confirmed this fact and states that there is no other case pending between the parties.
In view of the facts, noticed herein above, it is apparent that both the parties have arrived at a bona fide settlement.
I am of the opinion that it would be in the interest of justice, as also in the interest of parties, if the present FIR and all subsequent proceedings, emanating therefrom are quashed.
It is a fit case where this Court should exercise jurisdiction, under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C to put an end to these futile criminal proceedings.
Even otherwise, a Full Bench of this Court has issued broad guidelines in Kulwinder Singh and others vs State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR (Crl) 1052, for quashing of the FIR where parties enter into compromise.
Consequently, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.279, dated 8.10.2013, registered under Sections 420, 419, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the IPC, at Police Station Patran, District Patiala, and all subsequent proceedings, emanating therefrom, are quashed.
