21.08.2019, one more opportunity was granted to the parties to get their

statements recorded, in terms of the order dated May 18, 2017 passed by

this Court and learned Magistrate was directed to forward the report to this

Court.

Pursuant to the aforesaid order, parties have appeared before

learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Dera Bassi and got their statements

recorded. On the basis of the statements so recorded, learned Magistrate has

submitted report dated 05.10.2019 to the effect that the matter has been

compromised between the parties voluntarily and out of their free will and

consent and without any pressure or undue influence.

Though no one is present on behalf of the complainant-

respondent No.2-Ranjit Kaur in Court today, but no prejudice would be

caused to her as she has already made a statement with regard to

compromise before learned Magistrate on 30.09.2019. The same is

reproduced as under:-

“Stated that I have lodged the FIR no.61 dated 04.05.2016
under Sectionsection 406 Section498A of IPC, PS Lalru against accused
namely Lakhvir Singh. Now, with the intervention of the
respectables, I have voluntarily entered into compromise with
the above said accused out of my free will and without any
pressure or undue influence, coercion, inducement, threat or
promise from any side. I have no objection if the FIR is
quashed by the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court
against the above said accused. The copy of Aadhar Card of
me is enclosed as Mark B.”

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 F.I.R.
