HARI PAL VERMA, J.(Oral)

Prayer in this petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for

quashing of F.I.R. No.267 dated 11.10.2018 registered under Sections 498A,

Section120-B of IPC at Police Station City, District Tarn Taran (Annexure P-1) and

submitted report dated 05.02.2019 to the effect that the compromise is

genuine and has been effected between the parties without any undue

influence or coercion.

Though today none has put in appearance on behalf of

respondent No.2-complainant, namely, Mandeep Kaur but no prejudice

would be caused to her as she has already made her statement with regard to

compromise before learned Magistrate on 05.02.2019. The same is

reproduced as under:-

“I am complainant in this case. The matter has been
compromised with Baljinder Singh, Labh Singh and Harbhajan
Kaur without any threat or pressure. Earlier, I was residing
with my parent at 275, Gali Garment Wali, Mohalla Nanaksar,
W. No.7, Tarn Taran and now after the compromise I am
residing in my in law’s house at Village Aujla, P.O. Jeewanwal
Babri, Tehsil District Gurdaspur. I have no objection if the
FIR No.267 dated 11.10.2018 under Sectionsection 498-A/Section120-B IPC
Police station City, Tarn Taran may be quashed.”

Learned State counsel has not disputed the factum of

compromise between the parties.

In view of the above, no useful purpose would be served to

continue with the proceedings before the trial Court in the instant FIR.

Hon’ble Supreme Court in Gold Quest International Private

Limited Versus State of Tamil Nadu and others-2014 (4) RCR (Criminal)

206 has held that the disputes which are substantially matrimonial in nature,

or the civil property disputes with criminal facets, if the parties have entered

into settlement, and it has become clear that there are no chances of

conviction, there is no illegality in quashing the proceedings under Section

482 SectionCr.P.C. read with SectionArticle 226 of the Constitution.
