Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR

of Punjab and others (2012) 10 SCC 303, the instant petition is allowed and
the aforesaid FIR and all consequent proceedings conducted on the basis
thereof are quashed qua the petitioners.
Needless to say that parties shall remain bound by the terms of
compromise and their statements made in the Court below.
