without undue influence, pressure or coercion, and out of their free

Kulwinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and another, 2007

Singh vs. State 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.
