Versus
State Of Punjab – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Rajesh Bhardwaj, J (Oral). - Lawyers are abstaining from work today.
2. Instant petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for quashing of FIR No.23 dated 11.07.2020, under Sections 406, 498-A of IPC, registered at Police Station Women, District Police Commissionerate Amritsar along with subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 26.07.2022 (Annexure P-2). FIR in question was got registered by complainant-respondent No.2 and the investigation commenced thereon. However, with the intervention of respectables, finally the parties arrived at settlement and they resolved their inter se dispute, which is apparent from Compromise Deed, annexed as Annexure P-2. On the basis of the compromise, the petitioners are invoking the inherent power of this Court by praying that continuation of these proceedings would be a futile exercise and an abuse of process of the Court and thus, the FIR in question and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom may be quashed in the interest of justice.
