Ram Chand Gupta, J.@mdashThe present petition has been filed u/s 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR no. 65 dated

08.05.2008 under Sections 323/324/326/34 IPC, registered at police station Majitha, District Amritsar, Annexure P1, and all other consequential

proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise, Annexure P2, having been entered between the parties. I have heard learned counsel

for the parties and have gone through the record.

2. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners as well as by learned counsel for respondent no. 2 that parties belong to same village

and that dispute between them has since been settled due to intervention of respectable persons of the village and relatives from both the sides.

3. Respondent No. 2 - complainant also appeared in person with his counsel and filed reply by way of affidavit admitting the factum of

compromise and stating that he is having no objection if the FIR and consequential proceedings are quashed.

4. In appropriate cases FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power u/s 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 v. State of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052. Since the

parties have amicably settled the matter and compromise has been effected between them due to intervention of the respectable persons and

relatives from both the sides, in the interest of harmonious relations between the parties, who are residents of same village, the present petition is

allowed and the impugned FIR no. 65 dated 08.05.2008 under Sections 323/324/326/34 IPC, registered at police station Majitha, District

Amritsar, Annexure P1 alongwith all consequential proceedings qua petitioners -Jaswant Singh @Bitta, Amandeep Singh, Ravinder Singh

@Raminder Singh and Jarnail Singh is, hereby, quashed.
